Thus began our whirlwind of notifying family and friends, getting Kassidy and Kameron situated over at my mom's house, trying to figure out what we would need to pack in order to survive 3-4 weeks in a hospital room... and prayer... lots and lots of prayer. Please God, just let my baby live. I need her more than You do.
We did make time for this first:
Kennedy's 3rd Birthday portraits... one month early... I prayed they would not be her last.
More reflection later.

I remember when you had these pictures done. I was crying right along with you.
I'm glad you've come so far. How strong you and Kennedy are!
OMG! Those photos are so stinkin' adorable! Continued prayers and blessings for you, Kennedy and your family!
She is beautiful! The pictures are fabulous and seem to capture her inquisitive personality (obviously I don't know her, I am making that judgement based on the pics).
As you continue to live life, just remember Job 23:10.
I remember!!! We were in FL for Ethan's MAW trip and we had just met up with Di, ME, and the rest of the family. I wanted to be with you guys so bad! I wanted to do anything that I could for you, for Kennedy. Your baby girl has a place in my heart- even before I was able to hold her in my own arms.
God bless you all.
Oh! I didn't have Ruby a year ago, and Karly didn't have cancer a year ago. I didn't even have a blog a year ago! So these pictures are completely new to me.
I've always thought Kennedy was beautiful, but oh my gosh - her hair is just so lovely. I'm so glad she's tough & doing so well.
WOW!! She is beautiful (with or without hair)!!! So glad she is doing well - thoughts and prayers continue your way!!!
CANCER, those words I hate! I don't think anyone knows how those words truly feel until it's that close. I don't know about a child with cancer, but a husband and all that went through my mind...and at times still does. Like when the labs come up, pet scan, or even when he just doesn't feel well. CANCER can and does change you forever. I'm sooo HAPPY Miss Kennedy is doing so well, we'll still keep praying! She is precious, beautiful, and a trooper!!! God placed her in the right hands, your a great mom!We are still finding people to vote for you, all of the Muncks with E-mails have!!!
Hugs...I remember you tell me. I was at work when you called and when I got off the phone I cried. I am so thankful that Kennedy is in remission and pray that she stays that way forever!
many many prayers that this year is better than the last.
She is just gorgeous, with or without the hair!
Fantastic job on the slide show. And a fantastic little girl, too!
Oh my goodness! Kennedy is such a beautiful little girl!!! I just love her and I haven't met her! :D
I'm so glad she will be having a 4th birthday...and many more.
She is such a natural model, so photogenic.
Your both so amazing!
I'm so glad you have shared your journey.
hugs

You both are truly amazing!
What an extraordinary year you all have been through!
You know, I didn't know you guys then, and my heart breaks reading your post.
You are amazing, and have been through so much. What an inspiration you are.
What an inspiration Kennedy is. She is so beautiful.
I love those pictures, she takes beautiful pictures!!
((HUGS!!!))
I just recently found your blog. My husband and I used to be at Fort Campbell for 8 years (now we are at Lewis). I just wanted to tell you that I think you are amazing for all that you do. I also want you to know that Kennedy is hands down one of the most beautiful children I have ever seen. All of your stories about your kids crack me up. They are all so precious and funny! You must be so proud of them. I can't wait to read more!
(By the way I know it is a little random for someone you don't know to leave you comments. If you want you can email me and I will give you permission to read my blog (you can get to know me a little that way and so I won't be such a stranger!) jess.oakes@gmail.com).
So glad I found your blog, Renee. I'll be back. Kennedy is priceless!-gillian from downsyn (Polly's mom)
I have always thought that Kennedy is beautiful! These pictures bring tears to my eyes. She's such a fighter. Cute as can be! Priceless!
She's just so cute!
I have goosebumps and tears! Goosebumps because Kennedy is SO beautiful!! Tears because I can't imagine getting that phone call, and especially when you said you were hoping these were not her last photos. You guys have come so far, you are both SO incredibly strong, and I am so glad that we have got to see many more pictures of the beautiful Kennedy. The girl should be a model, really.
Those portraits are GORGEOUS! Such a little beauty! I have another friend who has a daughter with Down Syndrome and is also battling leukemia and her husband was also deployed (but in the states). Small world. You moms amaze me with your strength. She is absolutely adorable. I hope her treatments are going well.
Oh wow, what beautiful photos. She is absolutely gorgeous!!!
How did you do your photos like that in your blog?

on a side note....daley just left Nashville this morning for San Francisco....then back to Atlanta.....and hopefully home.....he may make a sidetrip there before he comes home though....let you know....he has been there for the past two weeks.....
Oh my goodness, things that can happen in a year.. I remember first learning of Miss Kennedy on downsyn. I had just joined and Miss Kennedy was going through all she did with her tonsil surgery....whew!!! I don't know how you made it through that let alone the cancer stuff. You and your family are amazing and I have learned a lot from you all. Miss Kennedy will always hold and very special place in OUR family :)
Huge HUGS
