Chaz's First Choir Performance and his New Suit

Chaz had his first performance with Acapella Choir this week. The choir program at his school is huge; there were four choirs as well as a bell choir. The Acapella choir was very good. With so many boys, it has a rich, full sound.

We bought Chaz this new suit for choir. He looks so grown up in it.

I've attached a video of one of his songs. I've shrunk it way down so that it will be easier to download; as a result the video quality is very poor.




Hospital Tour

Our new hospital opened up for tours this weekend. We are so excited to have a hospital that acceps our insurance so close to home. Before this, our closest hospital was 45 mins away. I'm just glad the kids held off breaking bones etc. for this new hospital to be built.

As we went through the tour of the Primary Children's section we had fun hunting for where Jared and Ruth's pictures had been hung. We found Jared's on the 1st floor, next to a restroom and overlooking the ambulance/emergency drop off. Ruth's was much tougher to find. Hers is hidden away down a hallway of offices on the third floor. We told her that hers was so pretty that the workers wanted to hang it where they could see it every day.

On the tour we also were able to tour the operating rooms, radiology department, mother's area, and many others. There were hospital workers on hand to answer questions. Every room in the hospital was labeled and I got a kick out of one door that was labeled "nourishment". It wasn't near a cafeteria or anything, and somewhere in my brain I pictured some sort of WillyWonka type of room behind that door; maybe a bunch of squirrels cracking nuts or something. The other picture is Ruth and Jared looking through an MRI machine.

Ruth's was definitely harder to find. Even with your directions it took a while and searching to find it. We were very excited to see both of them. Good work!
