Dustin is 13 and has Downs Syndrome. This doesn't hold him back though and he is most eager to try new things. A true asset to our family. Dustin goes to school in Bronson which is a bit of a bus ride from here but he seems to take it in stride. He does well in school and basically is about 3 to 5 years behind where he "should" be. Dustin can do anything any other kid can do some things just take longer to learn. It just depends on whether or not he wants to. Typical Kid! He is taking Taekwondo and recently passed for his lt. Blue Belt. His picture was in the paper when he made purple Belt which is the half way point to Black and we were so proud of him. His favorite show is the Power Rangers and All That! He loves all sports and the outdoors. He is also an avid (not as avid as his older brother) game player. If your interested in more information on Downs try this page Family Empowerment Network  they have many useful links and it helped me find countless pages of information to help Dustin. He's a great kid and loves to help mom in the kitchen. He has chores and does them better than his brother's. A true character and never ceases to amaze me or his dad. See what Dustin is up to and some of his pictures on his page Dustin's Adventure's

    Joshua, he turned 5 in October. He is a very headstrong little boy with a sweet smile and adorable blue eyes! His favorite shows are, like his brother Power Rangers and Little Bear. He also likes to build with his Legos and play with his cars among his many other toys. Joshua also goes to Cedar Key and is in the Pre K class. He loves school but hates nap time. His best buddy is Cole. His older brothers are turning him into a little Nintendo guru. He plays every chance he gets. He also likes the computer when he can get mom off of it. He gets along great with his older brothers and loves to help with the baby.  See more about Joshua at Joshua's Treehouse

Last but not least there is Darrius. He was born last February and is as cute as he can be. He has a smile that can melt your heart and usually does.  Definitely a mover always on the go and into everything around him lately. He is already standing and it won't be long before things are moved up another level. He really is a picture perfect "Gerber" baby but then again I am his mother. Judge for yourself he has his own page also. Darrius' First Year

    My name is Tina and I moved to Florida form Illinois 20 years ago. This is where I met my husband, Fred and we've been married for 19 years (this Jan.). He is the love of my life and takes very good care of me and the boys. I graduated from Jefferson High School, Rockford, IL in 1975. I like Photography and take LOTS of pictures of my kids and sunsets (they are beautiful here!). Check them out on my Sunset Picture Page!  I also love working on my computer and I learn new things everyday! I am currently taking online classes to learn all I can about them. You can see some of my homework for these classes here. My greatest passion is making web pages and designing graphics. I hope to make this a career someday.
I also have a wonderful family back in Illinois, Mom & Dad,
3 sisters, 4 nephews and 2 nieces. Not to mention my second mom Aunt Bela who also lives in Illinois. I also have a fantastic brother in California who has been so very helpful and inspiring in helping me to do this web page. He gave me the push I needed 2 years ago to get started now there is no stopping me. So Tom it's all your fault.
If you like cooking check out the site he did for his wife Vikki's Cooking Links.
    I'll stop here before you get too bored. Now check out my other pages and have fun. Just remember that I'm always changing things so check back often! Bye
