I was inspired by a preacher friend of mine recently. He and his son have a fascination with reptiles. In order to feed that fascination, and have something they can both do together, they started a reptile blog where they share pictures and stories about reptiles they come across in their daily travels.

I thought that was a great way for a father and son to share their hobby with each other, and with others. And I started trying to come up with something that my son Caleb and I could do together that would make for a great blogging experience.

There’s lots of things we like to do together. Play video games, read books, play superheroes. But the thing we both have a deep and connecting passion for is LEGOs. Caleb is a prolific Lego builder, and many lazy Sunday afternoons are spent with the two of us surrounded by bins of Legos, constructing spaceships and castles and vehicles and monsters of every shape and kind.

So, we’ve started a Lego blog showing off our creations. It’s called the Brick Boys, and will feature mostly pictures of Caleb’s constructs, with one or two of mine popping up every now and again. There might end up being the random anecdote or story, as well. And maybe we’ll link to some creations we find online that spark our interest. We’ll have links to our new Flickr photostream, which is already piled up with some photos we took this weekend. There’s more on the way, I know Caleb’s already busily building away at home as I write this.

Enjoy!
