Reading everyones post about your kids turning four or five makes me miss nursery* so much! Our ward here has maybe two kids in nursery... maybe four. When I taught nursery, I could have 20 on a Sunday and that would be normal. And I loved it! I loved all the kids so much. And when I lost focus of what was important and decided not to go to church anymore, the hardest part was leaving the kids. And I generally don't regret things, but I do regret that choice. Because of the kiddos.
* for those of you not of the LDS faith, 'nursery' is where the 18 month old kiddos go during sunday school. There's a manual with lessons in it and everything. Typically my lessons were telling the kids something like Jesus loves you! while passing out goldfish :]

We loved having you in nursery. All those boys had such a crush on you. Well, duh. Bryson loved going to nursery every week.
You are still the favorite nursery teacher in our book! Time is getting close for mini reunion right? I am so EXCITED for you!! If you have my luck you will end the experience with a nice pink + after peeing on the stick.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Des cracks me up!
Hope you enjoy your mini-reunion
PS My kids never had for your nursery (and from the comments, they're totally missing out) Colin would have had SUCH a crush on you!
PPS Goldfish will forever remind me of church. That and Cheerios--ground into the carpet of course!
Maleia LOOOOVED you (and nursery) and let's face it, so did all the parents who's kids were in there. Every day I would ask, "What did you learn in Nursery today?" And Maleia would say, "Jesus loves me" or "I am a Child of God." That's every parent's dream that every child comes home thinking that after going to church.
and from the flip side, I enjoyed working with you in nursery. I generally dreaded being called into nursery but when we were working together it wasn't quite as bad and, dare I say, I actually enjoyed it that time.
