My family in the Fall

I have been called Miss Kelly for almost as long as I can remember. I would like it if my new friends did also.

I am going to be 43 soon.

I grew up in a small town in Central Illinois with my parents and a brother. I went to a University and majored in special eduacation and primarily have worked in early childhood for about 28 years. I started very young working summers for a camp with children with special needs. I have worked the last 19 years with "normal" children.

I married a boy from my small town but he went to a different University. We have known each other a long time and were always friends and in fact dated each others friends in high school. He is an Eagle Boy Scout and Order of the Arrow.

We have been married for 19 years. We have 2 sons ages 15 and 13. They are actually 18 months apart and have nothing in common but their parents, last name and address, we joke around here.

My husband and I have been volunteering with the scouts for about 11 years now. We were the den leaders for almost all the Cub Scouts dens and were the Cubmaster and assistant Cubmaster for years. Now my husband is the Scoutmaster with the Boy Scouts.

Between us we have a lot of experiance with children. BUT one could say a LOT of experiiences with boys!

We are the outdoors types for sure and take our children everywhere with us.

We wanted children all our lives and we wanted a large family but it was difficult to get pregnant and God wanted us to only have 2 sons and we are grateful for them!
