gnome men

Dear Henry,

Today was first snow.

We drove up to the house and you said, "Yes, there's enough snow to make a snowman!" I was beastly and muttered under my breath that there probably wasn't enough.

You raced to the snow gear and didn't even complain that your snow boots were 2 sizes too small. I zipped you up tight with mittens and all.

I drove off to run carpool, and returned to find your handiwork amidst the front lawn.

Three jaunty little snowmen, no higher than my knee.

My heart melted.

twigs and blades of grass used for adornments.

precious.

I love the heart of this boy!

dear hillary

Today I went to Biztown with you.

I was just a mom-helper.

You were the CFO of Zions Bank.

You issued loans, took in deposits, and wrote all of the payroll checks for your employees. You were busy.


At one point, I stopped by to check in on you and you said urgently to me, "I am missing an invoice, and if I don't have and invoice, people don't get paid!"

Such a capable individual.

On task at all times.

Pleasant and even-tempered.

And look at this.

You received one of only four "Outstanding Citizenship" awards.

I think that I was the proudest mother today in Biztown.
Love you little CFO.

MOM
