MEET THE FAMILY

Dillon Peters, Melissa Hansen, Wendy Lundeen, and Tyler Peters

The Hansens STICKING TOGETHER THROUGH THICK AND THIN

T

YLER PETERS, AGE 10, sits at the kitchen

table working on multiplication tables while his brother Dillon, age 12, works on other homework from the living room.

“Mom, does five go into 15?” Tyler asks impatiently.

“Does it?” their mother, Melissa Hansen, asks back. “What do you think?”

Yes, Tyler remembers, five goes into 15.

These boys both receive mostly As, and some Bs, at school. Dillon attends Buffett Middle School, Tyler attends Fullerton Elementary.

He wants to be a scientist when he grows up.

“One who explores the world,” Tyler says.

Their positivity is infectious, putting a smile on their mother’s face as she tries to help both boys at once. It is an attribute that serves them well.

“The thing that strikes me about them is they can remain so positive and find joy in life even though they are confined and can’t do the things their peers can do,” says their grandmother, Wendy Lundeen. “It does not seem to really

bother them. They just remain so happy.”

Tyler and Dillon both have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a form of Muscular Dystrophy caused by a lack of the protein dystrophin.

It is carried through the mother and usually affects boys, according to the National Library of Medicine.

The condition has made both boys wheelchair-bound, but they don’t let this slow them down. They both like to play baseball with the AllPlay League in Omaha, a noncompetitive league for people with disabilities; enjoy going to UNL football games; and have been to a Kansas City Royals game.

“They won the World Series this year!”

Tyler beams.

He eats lunch with friends at school, but really likes to talk to his “bro,” who is his best friend.

“Tyler always puts his hand on Dillon, every time I take a picture,” Wendy says. omahamagazine.com

Dillon likes to read and sing. He has read the Divergent series and the Percy Jackson series, and he sang in the cantata at Covenant Presbyterian at Christmastime.

“I like to play Xbox and Minecraft,” Dillon continues.

They also like going to movies.

“Movies are our big thing,” Melissa says.

“Majestic [Theater] has these reclining chairs that are great, because the boys can be in their chairs, and I can recline with them.”

The family remains positive through it all.

Dillon and Tyler like to joke around with their friends. Melissa thinks about how lucky she is to have such loving, caring children. And Wendy?

“I’m always looking for ways to bring them joy,” Wendy says.

PEONY FLOWER

Flower Bomb E

VER SINCE MY husband and I found out

that we are having a little girl, my heart has been set on all things lady-like. When thinking about what our baby will wear, classic trends that have lasted throughout time like muted colors, floral prints, polka dots, and stripes have been what I am drawn to. I have been waiting for the chance to finally make some floral headpieces for our little babe. What can I say? Women love flowers.

Because I couldn't settle on just one option, I will outline a few different types of flowers to make into headpieces for your little one.

1/2 inch strip of felt for the center piece of your flower.

Cut parallel strips into the 1/2 inch strip creating a "fringe."

Draw a line of hot glue along the bottom and fold over fringes, pressing them into the glue. (ex. A) Draw another line along the bottom of the folded fringes, and roll the entire strip of felt into a spiral, creating a fluffy center.

Cut out circles in various sizes to be the petals that wrap around your flower. (ex. B) From smallest to largest, begin gluing the petals around the center piece until your flower is as large as you desire.

Cut out some leaves and glue them to the back of the flower, creating a finished look.

1. Cut out a circle somewhat larger than the rest of your petals.

2. Hot glue the center of the

circle, and pinch it with your fingers, creating a bunched up shape (ex. C) 3. Cut up various sizes of petals of no specific shape.

4. From smallest to largest, begin gluing the petals around the center piece until your flower is as large as you desire.

5. Cut out some leaves and glue them to the back of the flower, creating a finished look.

SPIRAL FLOWER 1. Cut out strips of felt varying

Hot glue the spirals onto a separate piece of felt that will hold them all together.

Designed to Serve CLEMENTINE PORCELAIN

Jesse Ross discovered early on in his ceramics career that the most efficient way to reconcile form and function at a wholesale level is not through technique alone, but through the framework of expert mold-making.

Tracy Shell discovered early on in her ceramics career that one of the most efficient techniques to inspire compassion on a larger platform is molding young minds through art.

With their knowledge combined, the husband-wife duo has been shaping their civic-minded venture, Clementine Porcelain, into a chic, durable enterprise that turns a scaling percentage of their porcelain wares into food for hungry children. The spirit of the ceramicists' philanthropic endeavor lies in their succinct mission statement: "designed to serve."

“If we could make something sizable, something real that wasn’t just sort of the company funding what amounts to our family contribution..." Ross, 38, says of his three-year-old company from his Benson garage-turned-studio. "If we could grow it to be something very substantial, I think that would be pretty spectacular.”

More specifically, the academically trained artisans who came to the Midwest by way of New York have been working to channel profits to the Food Bank for the Heartland's BackPack Program, which helps feed chronically hungry students on weekends for an entire school year.

One in five children goes to bed hungry in the Omaha metro area, says Angela Grote, communications manager at the Food Bank, and Clementine Porcelain's unique solution to that problem hasn't gone unnoticed by the nonprofit.

“They’re an extraordinary partner,” Grote says. “The company is very philanthropically minded and is really committed to the practice of altruism and making our community a better place.

We’re so grateful for these supporters who believe strongly in helping children." »

As for the artisanal side of the business, Clementine Porcelain's online store currently features cups, vases, and lights. Their pieces are also available at the Joslyn Art Museum’s Hitchcock Museum Shop, Anderson O’Brien Fine Art, and True Blue. The handmade porcelain wares radiate a domestic naturalism—imitating everyday textures like paper and styrofoam— and are both heavy-duty and stain-resistant.

This isn't your great-grandmother's fine china.

“We get access to that sort of implication of fragility, of preciousness, but it’s actually way more functional, way more durable than that handmade earthenware thing that you have," Ross explains. "But everyone thinks that it’s more fragile, so it’s sort of an aesthetic quality that we get to capitalize on.”

Ross and Shell say they've also capitalized parentally on their venture, as it's instilled in their 8-year-old daughter a sense of duty to those around her in need. Clementine, who not only enkindled the humanitarian side of the project, but whose name—which translates to "merciful" and "compassionate"—inspired the brand, is the de facto heart and soul of the company.

"Plus," Shell says. "She's the best thing we've ever made.”

THE GRANDPA CHRONICLES

Under a Full Moon T

HE HIKING TRAILS at Platte River State

Park are a jumble of twists and turns, ups and downs, forks and choices. Each junction—each meandering tendril—offers a different destination.

I know the waterfall is down this path, I recall thinking on a recent night hike with my young grandsons, Easton (6), and Barrett (4). The haunted tepee (haunted because I made it so in a campfire tale over s’mores the evening before) is up that trail. And the choo-choo trains that rumble past the edge of the forest what seem a million times a day are best viewed if we instead take that other branch of the trail over there.

The boys relied on Grandpa to know which direction to go, and a full moon lit the way for us in making navigation easy that night.

But the rest of life’s decisions won’t be so easy.

Easton and Barrett will have many choices to make in selecting the paths that will be their life journeys. My hope is that they will always make wise decisions at every junction, but I know that this is wishful thinking.

Along the way I hope that they learn humility, fairness, love, and compassion. I hope they

fight for what they believe in. I hope they contribute to their community. I hope they learn how to make a slingshot. I hope they develop an appreciation of the arts and that which unites all of mankind. I hope they hate their first taste of alcohol. I hope they come to learn that peanut butter and salsa sandwiches are delicious. I hope that one day they will tell me about their favorite author. I hope they visit me when I am a broken-down pile of musty old bones. I hope they remember me when I am gone.

I hope they are strong, safe, healthy, and happy—and have families of their own someday that are the same.

I hope they are curious. I hope they find passion. I hope they reach. Reach for something.

Anything.

Most of all, I hope they become exactly who they want to be and are comfortable in their own skin.

Like the trails at Platter River State Park, life for them will be a jumble of twists and turns, ups and downs. The footing will sometimes be treacherous and slippery, but I hope they always have a full moon to guide their way.
