Real

As I was reading Bekah's blog tonight before I headed off to bed, I was motivated to make this blog a little more "real". I wouldn't want everyone out there thinking that Brian, Kim + kids are always doing fun things + having a blast. We're just like the rest of you. However, I must admit that most of my blog posts revolve around fun activities, sports, birthdays, get-togethers and all kinds of happy occasions, you know, the "Kodak moments" that I've just downloaded off the camera...not exactly what I would call the most realistic picture of our day-to-day lives. We do have fun, don't get me wrong, but I rarely take the time to sit and vent about the down-right yucky occurrences that sometimes, okay, all-too-often make up our days. So, from here on out, I'll be journaling more, or at least trying to. (I'll try not to wait until I've taken pictures of something fun before I post a new entry) I'll be the first to admit...I love photos! So, maybe I'll just have to start carrying my camera with me everywhere and snap the photos of Tess + Lauren fighting over toast at breakfast, or Ella throwing a temper-tantrum because she didn't get to go outside and play the exact minute she wanted to, or maybe Zach shoving Lauren out of his chair that he "double-locked" before he went to the bathroom. Okay, maybe those aren't really images that need to be remembered...I'll just see how it goes. Until next time, love to all, Kim
