WORLD CUP 2010!

I've never been much into soccer, but it is pretty amazing to be here in South Africa while it's all happening!

World Cup Fever is raging here, and SA Bafana Bafana fans are c.r.a.z.y.! 

The picture was taken in Uganda, but the lyrics are from "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan, which had become the unofficial World Cup song here. It's a great song too.. especially the version sung by CANADIAN artists! Go Canada :) 

I, personally, am firmly an England supporter, being half British (but I'm not opposed to cheering for other teams.. such as Germany, who played a great game last night!) as you can see from the picture below- kind of sad that the only England stuff we had on hand was Megan's shirt. Oh well, it worked :) 

In other news, it is now less than two months before we leave for Uganda! So exciting. We're loving being here in our new house though, it's so peaceful and relaxing. And lovely to be so much closer to town and Nelspruit!

Our Grandma is also going to be visiting for two weeks in July, which is so great... our first visitor!! (Besides Carissa back in the fall.. which was also amazing :) ) And two of my great friends from my school trip to Uganda last year are going to be visiting us in Kibaale in August, which I am just counting down the days for. 

So there are exciting things happening in our near future! Although after the excitement of Moses lighting his blanket on fire two minutes ago and then shoving it under a plastic bag and running away, I'm not sure how much more we can take. I seriously worry for that child. He's just too naughty, adorable, hilarious and curious for his own good. 

We found them sleeping like this the other day; not at all sure how it could be even remotely comfortable!

The weather here is actually becoming quite nice; it's cold! As in sweaters and jeans and socks every day, leaves falling off trees, see your breath in the air in the mornings cold. I'm absolutely LOVING it :) 

These two pictures were taken in our backyard, it's so beautiful!!

Lyrics from the song "Only Hope", performed by Mandy Moore in the movie "A Walk To Remember".. both so great :) 

PS.. Sorry about the link up in that second paragraph, not exactly sure what happened there. As far as I can tell it just opens up the "Wavin' Flag" picture in another tab.
