Wayne and Coleen Rooney are preparing to start a new life in America.
The family of six is set to fly Stateside to support husband after he landed a three-and-a-half-year contract with DC United.
When news of her husband's new gig first broke, Coleen told fans they'd both be making the move along with their kids Kai, eight, Klay, five, Kit, two, and four-month-old Cass.

"Wishing our daddy and my Wayne all the luck, happiness and success in America!!! It's a move we are going to do as a family," she tweeted.
And ahead family of six's impending move to Washington, they've already bagged their dream home in the States.
Interior shots of the sprawling mansion reveal that the family will want for nothing in the luxurious home.

Their new digs feature a wine cellar, outdoor pool, a state-of-the-art gym and a cinema room.
Earlier this week Coleen tweeted that they were house hunting in Washington.
"We have had a great time in Washington.... sightseeing, house hunting, viewing school and of course seeing @WayneRooney. Looking forward to our family move real soon," she wrote.

And it looks like she was successful.
Since jetting into the US capital earlier this week, Coleen has been on a reconnaissance mission.
She’s been viewing potential homes and researching schools.

For someone whose spouse earns £300,000 a week, it would have been easy to surrender the huge task to Wayne’s advisors and management team.
But down-to-earth Coleen, who hails from the working-class suburb of Croxteth in Liverpool, is personally over-seeing every detail to ensure the move is as smooth as possible for her children.
It’s fair to that say uprooting the entire Rooney family from their settled life in England has not be without its complications.

Especially for a homebody like Coleen, 32, who has always been close to her parents, Tony and Colette McLoughlin.
“It was an emotional conversation with my mum,” admits Coleen, in her first newspaper interview about settling into a new life in America.
“It’s hard not being able to pop down the road – an eight- hour flight is a long distance. You can’t just nip over for a cup of tea.”

She adds: “It’s been a bit of a blur so far getting everything sorted. I am sure it will all sink in soon.”
