Create Memories With Your Kids

One winter night I was bored at home with the family. I'm not sure what gave me the idea, but I got out the iPad and began interviewing my two daughters. I meant for it to be a short little activity, but  it ended up taking about an hour. What transpired was really fun. I began by asking them questions about their future in terms of where they will be, what they would be doing, who they will marry, how many kids they will have, etc. As they talked, I picked up on little things in their answers that would lead to more questions. I can't wait to get the video out in 5 to 10 years from now and relive the memories and to see how close or far off they were from their answers. 

Part of our responsibility as a leader in the home is to create fun memories with our family. I wish I would do that more. Quite often I am too self absorbed with what I am doing or want to do and don't think about what we could be doing together. As dads we can't be serious all the time either. It is important for our kids to see us having a good time and not care what others think.
