Since Jackson didn't have to get surgery, we decided that with Family in town we would finally get him baptized. We asked Angie and Jason to be Jackson's God-parents, and it worked out perfect because Angie was able to be here for the baptism. Here are a few pictures from the Baptism this morning:
Mary and Jackson's Great-Grandma Eunice was able to visit as well, so we took the opportunity to take a picture spanning 4 generations!
AND NOW FOR THE BIG EXCITING HUGE SUPER DUPER NEWS!!!!!!

We are so Thankful to God that this day finally came, when we got Mary's diagnosis 18 months ago, the doctors told us she likely wouldn't see her second birthday. We didn't accept that and have done and will continue to do everything in our power to ensure Mary lives a full and happy life. We hope to see many more birthday's for Mary Grace! Thanks to all of you for all the love and prayers and support over the past two years!

Wow! It looks like you had a GREAT birthday party - and Jackson had fun with his baptism!
We send all our love for your birthday - and agree with your Mom & Dad - you did an amazing job making it to 2 -- don't ever give up :-)
Great party, Mom!! We had lions, monkeys, elephants... we're big into jungle fever, but out mom loves the Lady Bug theme :-)
Happy Birthday, Mary! We love the pictures. Ivy had a "ladybug" party when she turned 2. Sometime soon, I will bring Ivy for a visit. Your Grandma Windscheif will have to provide good directions. She helps me out a lot when I get lost, and it makes her laugh every time.
We love you, Mary!!
Susan & Ivy
