Christmas and Primary Classes

This is LeGrand's 10-year old Primary Class.  He loves them and they love him.  He teaches with two doctors from McKay-Dee who knew Curtis well. 

This is my Sunbeam class.  Logan told me after singing a song in opening exercises:  "I am so glad Jesus loves me!"  Jocelyn is so thrilled with our class that she jumps up several times during my lesson to hug me.  Merilee doesn't speak often, but I can always get her to smile when I ask questions that no one else can answer but her.

We made cute cards and ornaments with their pictures for Christmas.

Olivia

Yes, I am playing catch-up.  Is it obsessive to not want to post "out-of-sequence?" Because of my inability to add to my blog for awhile there, I missed some important events.  I will make a stab at trying to soothe my anal desire to keep things chronological.

Dang

This is the prompt I received when I tried to upload a picture:

 

Whoops! You're out of space. You are currently using 100% of your 1 GB quota for photos. Upgrade storage

Photos are stored in your Picasa Web Albums account and are included in your 1 GB free quota for photos. Additional storage you purchase is shared between several Google products and is in addition to your free quota. Learn more

 

So let that be a warning to you.  I think it must have happened because I have not been downsizing my pixels.  I should have been photoshopping and saving at a medium quality maybe.  I just love good quality photos. 

 

Since no one really reads this blog anyway, I am considering ending my blogging career and taking up something meaningful like solitare.
