Next it was on to Washington D.C. where we had so much fun seeing our Ukrainian Family and our dear friends from our neighborhood who have accepted a volunteer position there to take care of the Visitor’s Center for the Temple there.  It was so fun to speak with a large audience bustling with enthusiasm about raising their families!

We were inspired by a beautiful song from these magnificent singers to start the evening off. This young man is our daughter’s age.  His mother and I used play in a string quartet together when we lived in D.C. and this guy was one of the babies crawling through our music stands which we were holding steady with our feet while trying to concentrate on playing!  Where did that time go???

Richard’s brother lives there with his wife. They are there on a volunteer assignment for our church. We had such fun talking to local ecclesiastical leaders and two large seminars, giving tips on raising responsible children!  This group was especially interested in helping teenagers navigate a chaotic world!

What a great time we had speaking at the marvelous science center in Toronto!  YPO Families brought their kids from 5-12 and we had so much fun teaching them about a secret family code!

There’s nothing quite like the aqua waters of the Caribbean. What a refreshing treat.  Now we are back to "barely spring" of our mountain home in Park City!
