Ally turned 2 on Saturday, March 11th. When we told her that we were going to go to the zoo for her birthday, she got this surprised look on her face and said "There's animals there!" We decorated the house with Dora the Explorer decorations and balloons so that she could see them when she woke up. She was so excited! We also got her a Dora the Explorer doll house. She got out of bed and went straight to the house and started playing. She LOVES Dora. Her Grandma and Grandpa Schneiders joined us for the day. Everyone had to wear Dora party hats. Check our our pictures to see the fun.

We were able to add about 400 people to the national registry at the drive put on by Channel 13 on Friday. Many of the people coming in said that they were coming to try to help Jackson. It's very overwhelming to see so many people that don't even know us that want to help. Never doubt that there are a lot of wonderful people in this world! Thanks to Christi Myers. She is the reporter responsible for the story and the drive. She's been a tremdous help to our family. It's obvious that Christi really cares about the people that she is reporting about.
