Then there is my husband, Andrew, who is truly perfect for me.  We have been through many times together, good and bad and I couldn't think of anyone I'd rather be with.
I THINK HE IS MY FAVOURITE.
You have landed on our page. 
Hi, I am Tania.
Joshua. He is now 11 years old, and cannot walk or talk.  He has 18q- Syndrome, (partial deletion of long arm of chromosome 18) He's my favourite.
Emily. Now 10 years old and the light of my life, she is such an angel, I could watch her all day long. She's my favourite.
Matthew. Now 8 years old and as cheeky as they come.  First born of twins and ever-so cute. He's my favourite.
Daniel. Our last born and also 8 years old.  My sweety, cuddle-bum.  He's my favourite.
THEY ARE ALL MY FAVOURITES
The Children
The Husband
Proud to be Australian
I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It's like this......

My hobbies and interests are all basically on hold for now as I raise our four beautiful children. 
B.C. (Before Children) I liked to spend time at the beach, swimming, tanning and trying to windsurf.  We would dance till late, drink way too much and sleep as long as we liked.  Oh how things change!
Check out the album below to see pictures of us all together. 
I like to sew, and I love crafts, and homemade stuff.  I like photography, both taking photos and developing them.  (Kids are GREAT subjects) My favourite photographer  is Anne Geddes, that's my best loved photo of hers below and a link to more stunning photography.  I love my computer, and the world of Internet.
I love family outings, especially birthdays and Christmas. 
Mostly though, I love my family.  All my family. Read on to find out about our eldest son, Joshua and his rare chromosome condition,18q-syndrome, or about our beautiful little girl, Emily. Then go on to read about the twins Matthew and Daniel. (also known as  "Search and "Destroy")  There are stacks of links below.  Take your time and come back soon!
