The kids had their second performance of the musical "Here for the Gold" this evening. My parents arrived at our house about two hours before the program began so the kids were able to play with their grandparents before we had dinner together, and Ian and Grandpa played a game of Candy Land after dinner. We could actually see Nadia during the program tonight (Yay), and Ian stayed up on the stage for the whole program tonight. Oliver was a little bit noisier this evening than he was last night, but altogether he did well considering he just turned three and is not accustomed to sitting in a church service. Nadia smiled more than she did last night, although she still didn't smile anywhere near as much as she did in her first musical in 2012. She did fine with her speaking part. They had a glitch with the microphone and we didn't hear 90% of her solo. We heard her solo loud and clear last night. Ian wasn't as animated tonight as he was last night, but he still did a really good job, especially considering about 15 months ago I couldn't even get him to get up on stage to sing with the kids choir at church. I'm very grateful this church (which is very close to our house) provides this program for children during the months when AWANA is not offered, and I am very thankful that my parents were willing to drive seven hours round trip to be with us for three hours. That is true love! I'm hoping maybe some day (not too far in the future?) we live closer together so they don't have to travel so far to attend things like this.
