A Hall of Famer

Matt met Jeff Fisher yesterday! Jeff Fisher is the coach for the Tennessee Titans. Through Precision Signworks, Matt was able to get a place at a table in O'Charley's with Jeff Fisher and the spokesperson for the Titans as well. - I don't remember his name. I'll have to tell you when Matt gets home. But, it was for a radio show that Jeff Fisher does every week. Matt got a football signed by him and a Titans calendar signed. He was pretty darn excited about it and is bragging to all his brothers out in Utah that he met a hall of famer. Matt also has said that both Jeff Fisher and the other gentleman were very nice. Oh, and I'm sure he would want me to tell you all that Matt got a hug from a Titans cheerleader and met the girl on Oprah's Big Give from Tennessee. What can I say? I think he had a blast and will probably be so proud that he met these people. It'll definitely be an experience that he won't forget.

Side note: Matt was sweet enough to surprise me with some flowers, because he wanted to bring me a treat. BUT, the biggest treat was that Matt got me a poster with all the cheerleaders on it and was signed by the one that gave him a hug. She made it out to me. Oh Matt...

Edited: The other gentleman that they ate with was Mike Keith. Matt said he was very friendly and down to earth.

Determination...

Do you think Lily is happy without her Wee Walker??

Here is Lily walking. I didn't want to put like 5 minutes worth of footage up, so it's just a little glimpse into seeing her walk. This is a big thing for Lily and for Matt and me. I can't believe the determination that little ones have to do things. She just gets right back up after falling down. She's amazing. Enjoy the video!

Cause for Celebration!!

Welp, we went to the doctor on Tuesday for Lily's leg and she's no longer in her "Wee Walker"!! WOOHOO! Now, not that this information isn't the cause for celebration, but yesterday she started to walk! Take that darn boot off and she starts walking. I knew that we weren't too far from it before Lily broke her leg, I think the boot put a damper on things for her though. I don't have any pictures or anything, but I'll have some up I'm sure. Lily is very particular about walking. She's not one to make it a show. Lily has always been very shy, so that point doesn't shock me. She has to make sure that she's confident enough to do it, so it's not all the time, but she'll get there. I can't even tell you guys how proud I am of her!! GO LILY!!

Spoof

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...

Move Over Tiger... Bobcat's in Town

...Bobcat Townsend, that is. We had to come up with some animal name for William. Bobcat Townsend made us laugh really hard, so we teasingly call him that. Will has been doing this A LOT lately. He sets his ball, the same specific white ball, on a piece of torn paper (his tee), takes a couple of practice swings and then hits the ball! And, he's getting better with every hit! I'm so glad that I finally got it on film. Usually, when he knows that I'm taping him, he stops what he's doing and watches whatever I'm filming. This is so funny to us, so I'm hoping that you all get a kick out of it too.

Lily: Re-booted

Here are some funny pictures of Lily. I put fabric paint on her walking boot. I tried to put flowers on the top strap and, well, they turned out to be stars. It works. These pictures are great because I got the camera out to take a picture of Lily's boot and then she just started smiling and making faces. I couldn't help but put these up, naptime hair and all.
