ABOUT US

The Family

Welcome!!!

My name is Kelly and I’m glad you’re visiting my blog.  (Apologies, I’m having trouble with my photos and deleted the one of our whole family…above are my sons and daughter in law at Christmas 2008)  I’ve been homeschooling since my eldest son was born, 24 years ago. Now my husband Steve and I have four sons and we’ve loved the adventure of homeschooling. I’ve also had the privilege of being the Director of Grace Prep School and providing support services to other homeschoolers in our area. (Oh, and both my husband and I are Westmont graduates…as you will see as you read about my sons, the tradition continues.)

My husband, Steve, is a Pastor at Nuevo Community Church, a substantive Christian community in Nuevo, CA. You can check out his blog at TheTemple.wordpress.com

My Sons

  Levi is 21 years old and a Junior at Westmont College. Levi has been involved in leading worship in various contexts for several years now.  He has just returned from a semester of studying in Tanzania.
