First off, I just want to say...I am overwhelmed by the support I have received in the past week.  I am actually really surprised by it all.  I have received numerous facebook messages and posts, texts, phone calls, bottles of wine (hell-to-the-ya) and LOVE from my friends.  I feel like a mom who is just working through a challenge.  I feel like every family has their own set of challenges to work through, so I honestly didn't expect this level of support when I started the blog.   

I just want to say though...thank you.   

So, this has been a good weekend.  Stellar in fact.  Okay, I did have one small slip when I yelled at the boys to "shut up" because they were both yelling and I couldn't get a word in edge wise.  Levi started crying and Owen told me he was going to call the police and put me in jail.  I'm working on not letting myself get so heated but I slipped.  Lost that battle. 

I took the boys to a small Oktoberfest celebration in our town.  I was a little worried as Owen does not do well with crowds or lines.  If there is too much going on around him he will go into sensory-overload-get-me-the-hell-out-of-here mode.  This was a small festival with hardly any lines.  We ended up on the Ferris Wheel five times, which is awesome for someone who is not afraid of heights...I'm not one of those people.  The boys kept laughing and tilting our seat while mom sat white kuncked praying for it to end.  I was able to snap a photo from our very cold and windy top view.
