Family Update

Well, I have had a few inquiries as to how my children are doing. -Which is perfectly normal since I poured my heart out on the line about it!- So, I thought that I would just have a quick family update for those of you who aren't living so close.
William is doing great. He only wore his neck brace for a few days, of and on. He would come to me and tell me when his neck was hurting, which is amazing. Will hated wearing that thing, but he would let me put it on him. Throughout the day, when his neck got better, he would just take it off himself and carry it around. I thought it was pretty weird that he had a little attachment to a neck brace. When it wasn't velcroed together, my mom made the comment that it looked like a giant maxi-pad. And it did. So, there was my son carrying a large pad. Moving on.
Lily is doing... okay. Her doctor's appointment is next Tuesday with the specialist. We are praying VERY hard that this boot will be taken off. I'm pretty sure it will be, but because I'm not the specialist, I'm not going to say or assume that it is. Anyway, Lily is getting really tired of having that boot on. It's a pretty stressful situation. She fights me when I put it on her. I'm not sure what I was expecting though. I knew from the beginning that she didn't like it. Other than the fiasco with her boot, Lily is doing fine.
Matt and I are doing great. We're getting a little stressed out about a few things. We are preparing to move to Utah! I think that this is the first time that I have ever announced it on here. But, we are! We're very sad, but very excited. It's a love/hate relationship with this move as we're leaving the majority of my side of the family, but we'll be in the encircling arms of Matt's side of the family and also my sister Carrie's family. We're aiming for the end of September and we're hoping that all things fall into place for us. We're looking for jobs and a place to live soon and I'll update you all more when we get the specifics in order.
So, there you have it! That is the Tennessee Townsend update. Tune in next time for some more updating...

I am so excited for you to move closer to us! I am glad to hear Will and Lily are doing better. I can only imagine how stressful it would be if Tanner had to wear a boot. Props to you for your patience and endurance in dealing with that!

we're so glad your kids are doing better. We'll keep lily and her boot in our prayers too! And I'm hope your move to utah will be as stress-free as possible. That's a HUGE step, but since y'all know that's where you need to be, hopefully Heavenly Father will help those things fall into place for you to be there.
