Hi, my name is Kimberly Welch (Kim is fine) . I like to bake and cook, which I hope to pass down to my boys! I also like crafts and trying to keep things organized. My husband , Linwood Welch, and I have been married for 19 years. Linwood works for First Piedmont Corp. driving a front load truck. We have 2 boys. One is 12 years old and is entering 7th grade. The younger one, 10 years old , is entering 5th grade. Our boys like to play football and baseball. We are members of Westwood Baptist Church. Our boys also have attended Awana at church for several years now. We love camping in the summer (with a pop-up) and we like to play board games together. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat, which can also keep you very busy! Our boys have been homeschooled from the very beginning. It is amazing how time flies and I cannot believe we are beginning our 7th year. It can be difficult, but we keep trying and pushing forward. I have learned as much as they have.
