On Sunday we attended the wedding of Jon Fichter and Molly Silfen, our wear-your-sock-feet-to-dinner neighbors at the Delano. Their ceremony took place under a gorgeous huppah woven with Chinese silks by a friend's mother. According to Jewish tradition, the huppah is a symbol of the home to be created by the newly wedded couple, and Jon told me that the huppah cannot be a permanent structure because it needs to be created en situ by the couple's family and friends. Thinking about our recent move, I am very grateful for the family and friends who carried our huppah from one side of DC to the other to help us create a home where we can nurture our little family. Julia wore a cute pink dress from her great-grandma Boyce (thank you, grandma!) and was on her best behavior, tucked away in the sling. Jason and I even got to dance a few numbers with Julia swingin' in her sling. Speaking of dancing, Jason got to help hoist Jon's chair for the celebration. You can see our happy friends in the middle of the crowd!

The huppa is beautiful! I could dance under that every day. And you look beautiful too, Rachel. What a lucky girl julia is to get such a smattering of colorful culture from day 1. Way to go teaching her to plumb the depths of life with joy and discovery. Why wait?
