luvmy3kids · Posted: July 25 2006, 1:45 PM Post subject: New Here....

Hello everyone, my name is Tara and my husband is Jake. We have a daughter Paige who is 7.5 and has Down syndrome. We also have 2 other kids, a boy Jace who is 3 almost 4 and a little girl Addie who is 19 months. Paige has had duodenal atresia repair after she was born, open heart surgery at 1.5 yrs. old to repair a VSD, a couple eye surgeries for her tear ducts including a laser one and also several ear surgeries including a big one that was 5 hours long.

I look forward to getting to know everyone on here and I am glad I found this board. I have read a couple posts and everyone has such beautiful kids and families.

Where should I post my pictures up at? I do have alot to share, I am addicted to taking pictures of my kids.

I live in St. Elmo Illinois which is about 4 hours from Chicago. It is actually closer to St. Louis. I have family that live in Kenosha Wisconsin that we go and visit sometimes.

Well you can post a picture, or two or whatever on your signature, so it shows every time you post. And/or you can post other pictures under the photos section. Upload them to photobucket and then copy the IMG code into your post. The picture will then show up once you post it on the board. You just can't delete it from photobucket, b/c the code just references back to photobucket to load it each time someone views it. PM me if you need help! Smile
