Happy Father's Day

>> Sunday, June 18, 2006

Just a little blog to wish our fathers, grandfather, and all of the other "fathers" in our lives a Happy Father's Day! Our day is just ending, and yours is just beginning, so have a great day!

So...have any of you been watching the World Cup in Germany? I must confess that we are quite obsessed with it here. The only problem is that the games are on every night at 9 pm, 12 am, and 3 am. We always stay up for the 9 o'clock games and sometimes for the midnight games. But, the U.S. played last night at 3 am, so what were we to do? Yep, that's right, we pulled an all nighter and watched it. It was kind of weird to go to bed as it was just getting light outside. Hmmm, not very smart for two parents whose kids would wake up two hours later. The U.S. didn't win, but at least they tied Italy. We are rooting for the U.S., Argentina, and England.

Go USA!!!


Travis is a big fan...I'm pretty sure if he were in Germany at the World Cup, we might find him in the stands looking like this...hee hee...

Speaking of soccer, Kaleb and Travis have been watching the games together. Here is a conversation between them last night while they were watching...
Kaleb: Daddy, will you watch me play soccer on TV when I grow up?
Daddy: Of course I will, Buddy!
Kaleb: Will David Beckham watch me too (very famous English soccer player for anyone who doesn't know)?
Daddy: Yeah, he'll need tips.
Kaleb: The two things I want to do when I grow up are...play soccer on TV and work at Toys R Us.

Yep, that's right, when our kid dreams, he dreams BIG. A professional soccer player AND a Toys R Us employee. Come on, every kid's dream is to work at a place surrounded by toys, toys, and more toys. We'll see how that one turns out...

You scoccer freaks! Staying up all night is for young single people with no kids! Anyway, thanks for the Father's Day Greeting. It was much appreciated. Loved the conversation between Kaleb and Dad. Say Hi to the boys for us. Love from the Luckerts

Jorge, Jorge, Jorge, of course i am rooting for espana, you know i don't write this thing. If it were me writing, then espana would have been the only team listed (preceded only by Argentina, US, England, and maybe Germany). So of course i'm pulling for los espanoles!

Jean, you're going for a pulitzer prize aren't you? The pictures of china are just like a post card and you family ones are inspiring. What a bunch of Super Stars!!! I fear Mexico is not as picturesque as China. Mores the pitty. I love your voice in the blogs. Conrad especially loves the pictures of Kaleb. He misses him desperately and talks about him daily.
Love,
Monica and family
