12? You are 12 Now?

Jackson on his Birthday

Jackson celebrated his  12th birthday yesterday. 

The bundle of joy who had major open heart surgery at 6 days old is living proof of miracles. 

He is a basketball all-star, a solid baseball player, devious, funny, and a brilliant mathematician.

To think, it all started 12 years ago and except for a very diligent nurse it might have had a very different ending.  

But here he is now--ready to face the world and preparing for another exciting baseball season. 

Now if we could only teach him how to blow out birthday candles.
