A while back, I blogged about how my daughter couldn't sing. It's not that her voice is bad, it's really sweet, and when she uses it right, it's pretty good. Problem was she wasn't singing in the right range for her voice and no matter what I told her she wouldn't... Sissy isn't a 1st soprano. She's an alto. I guess if I had to get extremely technical, she's a 1st alto-2nd soprano, but no matter what I tried, she kept following the soprano notes... and when I told her to try singing lower, she was down in the bass. Needless to say, it was disastrous!
Well, when school started, she signed up for one of the PTA's after school enrichment programs, the Carnation Children's Choir. I was all for this since I happen to know the conductor, Michelle Poage. And just like I had hoped, Michelle was able to convince Sissy of what I couldn't, that she was singing either to high or low for her voice. And let me tell you...
Their first concert Saturday was awesome! (Sorry the pictures stink. My camera doesn't do good night photos unless they're of fireworks. Especially when my little 5'2" self gets cut in front of by someone else's 6'plus dad.)
On a not so cheerful note, Matt's Grandma Lydia is still in the hospital, in ICU. It looks like a hard year ahead, so please keep all of our family in your prayers. She's been diagnosed, and Connie pleas leave a comment with more details if you like. I didn't want to get the details wrong and for some reason my copy/paste doesn't work in the blog windows.
We love you all. I hope all is progressing well with your Christmas preparations. Ours are behind. Matt and I follow one of my traditions about decorations... we put up our tree on December 6th, but this year Sissy's concert was the 6th and yesterday Matt's heart just wasn't in the game when it was time for him to go unearth the tree and stuff from the garage.
Smoochies!

Grandma Lydia "had" a Grade IV Glioblastoma Multiforme brain tumor. The worst and fastest growing of it's kind. Malignant and always fatal. Her prognosis is a year to live at the most! (Even with radiation and chemo.) She is blind in one eye, paralyzed on her right side and has a feeding tube in because her ability to swallow is gone. We are taking things one day at a time for now. We feel all your prayers.
