Fun with Roxanne and Shon

They brought some fun army men for Mitch and had fun playing "war"
Shon teaching Mitch how to shoot with a rubber band.

Reid's sister Roxanne and her husband Shon and their little boy Cody drove all the way from Arizona to IF this weekend to spend a few quality days with the family. Shon is in the military and is getting ready to deploy to Afghanistan in June. This week was the only time that he could get leave between now and then before he leaves. I can't imagine how hard it would be for both Roxanne and Shon to have him leave. Luckily he gets to stay home long enough for them to have their 2nd baby the end of May. We are so glad that they were able to come home for a few days so that we get to see them. I am amazed at the sacrifice that our military men and women are willing to give for our country.

That gave me goosebumps! Very honorable! Tell him "Thank you for his service"
