A Busy Weekend...

All four J's were in Christian musicals yesterday afternoon. The three younger ones were in a musical called "Living Inside Out". Jillian was the tiniest dancer. She had her moves down for her "What Cha Gotta Do" dance number. For another song she was one of David's sheep. She is too brave and made me gasp (from my vantage point behind my camera) when she would wander into the forefront of scenes where she had no business. They all played it all off with amazing improv...everything went reasonably well.

Julia did a cool "hat dance". She wore the sparkling tie and belt with a top hat and white gloves. It was a sassy themed song that said, "The Ways of the World...are not for me!". She was as darling as usual and was glad her long braided ponytail didn't "whack" the other dancers in the face. She is a great big sister who watched out for her sis - so she did not get trampled on stage by the older kids in the show.



Our dear Jared played the part of a strong man. He always has more energy than I have ever had even on my best day. He got antsy on the parts where he had nothing to do but he sang loudly and kept a smile on his face for the entire production.

Josiah had two roles in his musical, "High Cotton" set in the South during the The Great Depression era. He was both a reverend and a police officer. The parts were perfect for him because he tries to keep everyone on the "straight and narrow". Thankfully he has a good sense of humor. He even had a part where he had to dance with a girl...something neither Mom or Dad knew until we saw it in the final performance. He behaved like a gentleman ~ of course.

We were glad to be a part of the 8th Annual Children's Musical. It was glorifying to God and communicated the "right kind of message". We all had a great time working on these projects over our summer. Thanks to the efforts of so many tremendously talented people it was a big hit! If I knew how to download my video to youtube you could see them as well....oh well. :( Maybe next ;)time!
