This is one of Kennedy's 1st birthday pictures... wasn't she adorable?! :o) I had fun playing with the black and white tool on Picnik. I love that site!
What an angel....I love picnik too, I am so glad you told me about it...addicitve. Oh and the last post "seriously?!...that ws so horrifying to hear I got a sick feeling when I read that....what makes a person hurt a child?
Aw how adorable... I even have premium picnik (which I never spell right), but I feel like it loads super slow for me (which I'm sure has more to do with my decrepit laptop with missing keys, thanks to Alec at age 1 or so). May have to try a little harder!
I am sorry to bother you... I have read your blog for a while, I have a young daughter with DS as well. Kennedy is gorgeous.
I had a question for you (and your readers as well hopefully). My husband is coming back from a deployment in a couple months. He will have been gone almost two years total.
I planned to take my two kids to greet him at the airport. We had decided it would just be the kids and I, along with his two best friends.
Then his mother informed me that the entire extended family will be there. 10+ aunts and uncles, several cousins, 4 grandparents, 2 parents, 3 siblings and their spouses and kids, etc.
I am concerned about my child's sensory issues with this crowd. I just don't think it will work.
However, more than anything I wanted them to be able to have that experience of greeting him at the airport...but I'm thinking that he should just reunite with them later. I don't want them battling with 20 adults for his attention.
If he was coming home straight from the airport then this really wouldn't be an issue. However, unfortunately that's not the case. We moved 12 hours away when we found out he was deploying, to be closer to family. So we won't be living together immediately because I will have to stay for some dr's appointments that we've waited months for here. He also has to get us a house and get that all finished. So the kids won't see him much, if at all after this reunion, for another 4 weeks.
I wondered what other military families thought of this? I don't want him to be overwhelmed and I want him and the kids to have some time. But I feel totally petty trying to tell his family not to come. I mean they can always see him later... but who am I to decide who can and can't go?
He has also told his Mom he only wants us there, but she isn't listening.
What do you and your readers think? Would you take your kids to greet Dad at the airport if it wasn't just you guys? Or would you just wait till later to reunite them.
I wish I could just tell my mother in law what to do...but that isn't working obviously.
Hey, how'd you get the roses colored while the rest is black and white? I use picnik too, but I haven't figured out how to combine color and black and white. Is that a feature you only get if you upgrade and pay for a year? This picture is GORGEOUS!

Welcome!
Welcome to my blog where I take on day to day life with my four amazing children: Kassidy, Kameron, Kennedy & Keeghan, and a husband in the Military. Join us as we face issues with Down syndrome, Leukemia, Deployments, and every day life with 4 young kids! You'll be in for the ride of your life!
My name is Renee, I am 34 years old, I am married to the Army... oh wait I mean I'm married to a Soldier, my hero. Same thing right? I am a misplaced Californian who lives in Colorado by way of Tennessee. I am a mini-van driving soccer mom... I always knew I would be! I am blessed to be able to stay home with my 4 amazing kids. Kassidy: my beautiful, too smart for her own good, funny, dramatic 13 year old who is starting her teen years with grace. Kameron: My high strung, smart, artistic, creative, silly, sometimes mysterious 11 year old who loves musical theater and acting. My 9 year old diva, Kennedy: who will most often be found dancing or dreaming of Justin Bieber. She's destined for the stars! and Keeghan: my crazy, funny, silly, handsome 6 year old monkey who loves to ask me a million questions all day long... I'm so incredibly blessed.
