Return from Salt Lake

Last Tuesday through Friday I was in Salt Lake for our yearly Children's Miracle Network conference. Men and women from the 170 hospitals all over the U.S. gather to share best practices and receive updates and information from our national office. Honestly, the most inspiring part of the event every year is sharing our passion for children with great health needs with our counterparts from other hospitals, and inspiring and energizing each other. Although I enjoy all the representatives, we spent much of our time socializing with the women from the Midwest hospitals. The photo below was taken at our evening banquet and award ceremony on Thursday night. It includes ladies from the Milwaukee Children's Hospital, the University of Iowa Children's Hospital and Sanford Children's in Sioux Falls.
Here is Marly and Dean on Tuesday morning. I dropped them off at daycare, then returned home to catch a cab to the airport.
