Thank You

While I have a few moments to spare, I'd like to thank all of our family and friends who came out to Sherwood Brewing last night for the Utica Unicorns/FXAM fundraising night.  Some of you traveled a great distance on a Thursday night to hang out with us, and that hasn't gone unnoticed (Dennis & Beverly!).  Our local friends, so many of you came out tonight and between the rush of people as well as trying to calm the kids' anxieties, it was a whirlwind.  It almost felt like a wedding reception, with the blur of activity, people, snippets of conversation, and pausing for a few seconds to take a sip or bite of something.

Adam, Bruce, & Curtis, thanks for stepping out of your comfort zone and giving Sherwood a try. :)  You guys completely made Lori's night, more than we can express in words.

FXAM crew, this evening wouldn't have happened without you.  You welcomed us into the fold, showed us that we're not alone, and even though we can't participate as frequently as we'd like, you're always in our thoughts.  We wouldn't have gotten as far as we have with the kids without your support and guidance, as well as just the occasionally well-placed "it's gonna be okay."

From pediatrician and dentist recommendations to even something that seemed as simple as melatonin, they've been completely life-changing in our house.  To be able to meet a medical professional whose first question is NOT "fragile what?"

And of course, this evening DEFINITELY wouldn't have happened without Sherwood Brewing Company and the old Alpha Team & regulars (Mary, Erica, Meridith, Rob).  Lisa, Ray, and Corey, thank you all so much for this and so much more.  We had to leave in a rush, so we weren't able to say hi & bye to everyone, or even see who came after we left.

But know that you are all loved and appreciated.  We feel beyond humbled and grateful for your love, support, patience, and friendship.
