Here are some pictures from the airport:
We have such a thoughtful ward and caring neighbors. They set up flags and hung up yellow ribbons to welcome Shawn home. It was a wonderful sight to see as we drove down the street. We've been humbled by all of the support.
Shawn decided to get some pictures of him in his uniforms before putting them away for good. I thought this pic was the cutest!
As you can see, William is still a mini Shawn. He is growing soo fast...over 4 months old now. We went to the Dr. on Monday and William weighs a whopping 13.12 pounds and is 26 inches long. It's nice to know he is growing like he should.
Since Shawn's return, we have been busy getting back into the swing of things. We've eaten out at most of the restaurants he missed while away. I am feeling pretty good all around. Now that my other half has returned, I finally feel like myself again. I didn't realize how much of a fog I was living in while he was gone, but I've noticed that I've been much happier over the last week and a half. I go in for back surgery on October 1st up at the U of U. The procedure is a microdiscectomy. It is outpatient and healing time is quick...about 5-7 days YIPEE! It will be nice to get the disc herniation taken care of so I can take care of my family the way I want to, with no limitations.
Blessings fill our lives everyday. Thanks again to all of you that have been so supportive while Shawn was away. We will forever be indebted to you!
Welcome Home to Utah Shawn!!

Yeah! I am so glad my favorite military cousin is home! ;) We were praying for you Shawn the whole time so we are so glad that you made it back safe, and whole!
Good luck with your surgery Suzzanne, if you need ANYTHING let us know!
Yay! I've been dying to know what is going on, but I thought I'd just let you have your space before I pounced. I'm glad you posted an update. I don't know how you did it without Shawn, I really don't. By the way, I think Jonthan's first step would be to eat out too.
Good luck on your surgery Suzzanne! Let me know if I can help bring in meals or watch the kiddo or whatever you need help with during the procedure. Love ya!
