Musicals and talent shows

Jessie in a recent performance

Four children, four personalities and four different interests!  In our case it's a little more like two and two, where Jessie and Sam continue to love theatre and music, and Angus and Anna are into anything involving football or physical activity. Jessie and Sam go to a local stage school at different times each week, and have recently enjoyed being in a talent show and other performances.  Jessie in particular is really loving and thriving in it, and has developed some great friends through the stage school.

There was a talent show a few weeks back in the coastal city of Limassol.  Both Jessie and Sam performed well and enjoyed the chance to be on the stage (see clips below). Sam won his section, much to Jessie's chagrin, but they both did a great job and the standard in the older kids groups was very high. Ross was rushing to make it back from meetings in Vienna for the show, and arrived just in time from the airport to see both Jessie and Sam's performances (so the all important principle of justice and precise equity between children was maintained)!
