…and did all sorts of different activities with them.
Here they are with their journals…
…I don’t know many details of what happened up there, only that those cousin groups were working their hearts out to learn the names of their great, great grandparents and how to tell a Rousseau painting from a Monet.
My brother Tal helped out this year:
…as well as Anita:
My brother Josh always helps out as well.
I’ve seen it so much already with Lucy. Pretty much every week during family devotional or taking notes in church or just driving around she will refer to those secrets.
I love to imagine all those golden threads infiltrated into each of those grandkids attaching them to those grandparents and great grandparents of theirs, as well as to their own grandkids some day. Yes, there is “molton gold” that will “gleam from the ashes” and I can almost see the beauty of all those ripple effects (written about back HERE).
Thank you, mom and dad, for weaving all that golden-ness into our lives.

I love this!!! Would it be ok for me to request a copy of these “grandfather secrets”? Or is there a book or blog post that I can read? I can read some on the rocks and photos you posted, but I’m drooling to get my hands on them all!!
Me too!
Me, too!
I would love it as well. Your family is so chuck full of great and wonderful ideas.
I would love a copy of them as well. Such great information for growing kids.
Sorry I forgot to come back to this. These "secrets" are written up in one of my dad's books called "Being a Proactive Grandfather" which you can find over here: https://amzn.to/2yWOv4i but maybe I can get him to do a guest post on here some time 🙂 They really are so great, I personally think of them all the time myself, I love that if I remember them that much, I love to think about those ideas and concepts running through my kids heads (and hearts) as they maneuver through life.
Are the 2 girls in the dungarees & yellow shirts twins? They certainly look alike.
No they're not twins, different families, but happened to have twinning outfits which is pretty exciting:)
Thank you for answering my question.
yes please! Are they in one of your parent's books?
See above.
