Home Is Where The Heart Is

Tonight as I'm tucking the boys in bed, Cole is talking about when he's in 1st grade next year he bets he won't have to sit next to Mina anymore. I tell him that he might be in Texas next year... or Oklahoma. He says "we're NOT going back to Oklahoma"

Me: We could. We want to go to Texas, but the Air Force could send Daddy to work anywhere

Cole: oh

Me: If you could live anywhere in the whole world where would you want to live?

Cole: Naomie.

Me: What? Where's that?

Cole: You know that state we drove through next to Colorado

Me: Oh, Wyoming. You really want to live in Wyoming? Do you know where Daddy would want to live, in all the world?? Germany!

Cole: OH, ME TOO, ME TOO!

Me: You want to live in Germany? Where they speak German, drink lots of beer, and play lots of soccer??

Cole: YEA YEA! (and holds his thumb up like the greatest idea ever)

Brad: Where's Daddy now?

Me: He's in New Mexico

Brad: I want to live in New Mexo :-( They miss you

This just about broke my heart. Aunt Kimi loves that kid and his sweet heart so much. And Naomie is the cutest thing I've ever heard!

I love it. Tell the boys dad will be home in 2 days and we can let mommy have a break while we have a 3 hour cage wrestling match.
