Winter activity

OK, it's cold and it's tempting to stay in - but with the boys testosterone rising we have to get them out. So in desperation took them on an ice hunt.

Yeah sure they grumbled to begin with but after crunching ice with their shoes and then picking up large ice slabs to bring home (but they never seem to know what to do with it then!) - they soon cheered up.

Intro

I've meaning to start this for ages - but as I get older and my memory gets shorter - the need to record what I've learnt and what I do with my children is becoming more urgent.

I am married to Jennie and have been 14 years. We have four children on earth (Lizzie 11, Josiah 7, Hannah 6 and Levi 2½) and two in heaven (Rachel 4, James 3).

It's not easy but it'll be one of the only things I'll do in this world which will impact the next generation and I want to do it right.

I hope to post here any games or activities I do with my children, book reviews, articles I've found helpful and reflections on being a 21st century dad. I know they'll help me. I hope they'll help you.
