Lord Voldemort Lives! My 4th Yr. at Hogwarts!
As mentioned in earlier Blog entries in a effort to inspire my childrens reading habits and to help strengthen the bond with them by throwing myself headfirst into something that is of interest to them, I made a promise I would read my way through the Fantastical World of J.K. Rowling and the adventures of her little Orphan Wizard Hero Harry Potter and his friends.
I am proud to say I am closing in on the last few chapters of the 4th book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Because of my extremely busy life as of late this book has taken me a bit longer than the first three but I am definately a Fan now and look forward to each chapter.
This has been a interesting journey as it has definately strengthened a connection with my children and given me a bit of an escape, growing up I was always into this type of thing and apparently I still am!
I only have several chapters of this book left and I eagerly awaite beginning the 5th installment.
Until then for anyone that reads this as always my whish for you is that you take the time to spend with your children, nieces, nephews etc. You have such an opportunity to impact a childs life in a positive way. I gaurantee the memories you create will last a life time and are priceless. I also gaurantee when you have made a child smile it makes you feel like a Hero!

What a wonderful thing to do for your children! You’re an awesome dad, I do this with my daughter, these days many autobiographies are written adult and child version so I get both and we enjoy the journey together - you’re right - it is a bonding experience.
