“Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.”

“Don’t trip on your hem,” I told myself as I walked up the choir bleachers, my long black skirt paired with my collared white shirt. I stood proud, excited for the harmonies and melodies I’d soon be belting out alongside my classmates, giggling to relieve my jitters and anticipation. Fast forward thirty two years and those memories come back strong and fresh as I watch Lucas walk up the bleachers for his choir performance then take his seat to perform with the band.
There are so many traditions we create as families; from how we celebrate holidays to how we start each morning and end each day. Whether grand or simple, traditions connect us and form our identity. Each tradition creates a thread in our fabric that our children will tug on each time they re-tell the story, reminisce with their siblings, repeat with their own children.

Last year we hosted a Friendsgiving to raise money and awareness for No Kid Hungry. This year the girls got dressed up and turned plain, white buttercream cakes into towering artistic creations. While the girls decorated the moms donated. Every $10 raised can feed a child up to 100 meals.

Soaring to the uppermost reaches of the National Building Museum, Hive is built entirely of more than 2,700 wound paper tubes, a construction material that is recyclable, lightweight, and renewable. The tubes vary in size from several inches to 10 feet high and will be interlocked to create three dynamic interconnected, domed chambers. Reaching 60 feet tall, the installation’s tallest dome features an oculus over 10 feet in diameter. The tubes feature a reflective silver exterior and vivid magenta interior, creating a spectacular visual contrast with the Museum’s historic nineteenth-century interior and colossal Corinthian columns.
