I was immersed in reading and referencing and marking; deadlines were crowding in on me. Ironically, I was perusing President David O.

"I love Sunday nights with the fam!" Jordon LeBaron posted on Facebook, along with a stunning video of his family singing "One Day More" from the musical Les Miserables. Each part, from Jean Valjean and Cosette to Madame Thenardier and the Ghost of Fantine, is incredibly executed by a member of the family. And although several of them studied music and theater in college, the collection of talent displayed during an informal family gathering is pretty impressive.
