Cole and Casey

Four short years ago Cole entered our lives during the 2006 World Cup. Dad can remember the entire family taking in a few games in-between bottles, naps and changing diapers.

Now 4 short years later the World Cup is back (as is the experience of a new baby in the family)and as Cole says "Daddy has been watching A LOT of the soccer tournament". Admittedly, this statement is true and has had some slight influence on Cole. Dad was surprised and pleased when last week from out of Cole's room (when he was supposed to be going to sleep) came chants of "U S A... U S A". After an exciting run and disappointing finish for the U.S. team the tourney continues on.

After the 2006 tourney, Cole's Uncle Mark Daquipa returned from his trip to Germany to experience the Cup in person with a gift for him. An actual "kit" (ie uniform) for The Netherlands... The Oranje. For those who don't know, Cole's Oma (Grandmother, Momma's Mom) is Dutch so there is some family pride surrounding this wonderful gift. While it didn't fit him at the time (he was only a few months old) it conveniently fits now as the boys in Orange are about to battle Brazil in the Quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup. Go Oranje!!!
