• Eat Family Dinner
Family dinner is precious.
It's a time to debrief the day.
It's a time for you to listen to your kids and to teach them about life.
We bemoan what isn't taught in schools, well here's your chance to teach it to your kids.

• Visit Grandparents
If you're lucky to have them.
The bond between a grandparent and a child can be a beautiful thing.
As our parents age, it often takes off the rough edges we saw in childhood.
The joy and happiness in their eyes (kid and grandparent) is worth it.

Someday, they won't be there.
They'll be gone and you won't believe how fast it went.
We've done a family photo-shoot since the boys were babies with the same photographer for 90% of them.
You'll never regret seeing these beautiful photos of your kids.

• Mark Heights & Weights
Wow, this is fun.
We've had the same board since babies.
We've moved into four different homes with them.
The board gets hung on a special spot on the wall in each home.
It shows each boy their progress through life and gives them a comparison.
