I'm a 26 year old mommy of  3!! My oldest is Julia Elise ~ she's 8, my middle is Alyssa Grace ~ she's 7, and my peanut is going to be 2 in May of 2009! My girls are growing so fast! Julia is in Second grade this year and Alyssa is in FirstI The girls attend Maryvale, which is a new school district for us! They were at Allendale Elementary before in West Seneca distract. I can still remember them as little peanuts that were always into trouble together!! Now they still get into trouble, but they're so grown up!! I couldn't be more proud of them! They are my everything!! My husband is a Corrections officer and works 2 hours from home! Things are rough with me being at home with the girls and going back to school while he leaves for weeks at a time! He loves his job and he's happy, and although it's not easy, I wouldn't change a thing!! We're happy!! ~* Fairy tales don't usually come true, but in our case, we've had one from the beginning!! *~ I have been one lucky girl to have found a man that is willing to raise two girls that aren't his and love us unconditionally. I attend Buffalo State College for Elementary Education, but I've found that I'm beginning to burn out, and I have this desire to just raise my daughters!! I think I may drop to part time and concentrate on my girls!  I love getting to know people, and I love sharing stories and pictures!! Just let me know if there's anything else you want to know!
