[color=purple][/color]Hi all!
   I'm Lela {Judy's daughter ],mom of Vincent[13]. He's such a big kid that he can carry me around the house   I've let him choose his first foreign language, which turns out to be French {ooh la la!} lol  Next will be Italian {gotta learn with him, since we're very Italian }
  I've been blessed to homeschool him since {practically} birth; which is a miracle due to working full time{at one time 3 jobs}until about 7 months ago. I was injured at work and was able to finally be a real mom for the first time {in my opinion} in 13 years. I never knew how hard it would be to support my son and mother for all those years,but the Lord has blessed me with my new husband, and now I'm looking forward to a part time job in a week or so; no longer feeling like I can't be a mother anymore
  I'm a Sunday school teacher{on and off for several years now} and Vincent is getting introduced to the world of volunteering this week; I ove it. I still can't tell if I'm getting more out of it than anyone else;it's such a blessing to get that opportunity. OK, enough rambling for now
   So nice to meet you all and hope to get to know the kind folks here!

Lela,
What area do you live in? I think because of the rules we can't exchange addresses since this is considered public. I'm Italian too and spend a lot of time doing family history. My older girls and I have been to Italy to meet cousins. How old is your son?
