While how you take this journey is completely up to you, here are some things I recommend.
1. Do not use any catechism currently available. The interpretation of answers is different when you have an already biased view of what the answers "should be". This journey is about you and your family's personal discover, not about parroting what someone else has said.
2. Use as accurate a translation of the bible as you can find. As a hint - that will NOT be the King James Version. The KJV is a political translation based on the Latin Vulgate translation from the Greek Septuagint translation. While there are no completely accurate English translations, I like The Scriptures from Institute of Scripture Research, the Complete Jewish Bible, and the Amplified Bible. Each of these has their own problems, but if used in conjunction with one another you can get as close to truth as you can find in English translations of scripture.
3. Concentrate on Scripture as much as possible - meaning the Torah, the Prophets, and the Psalms. These are the foundation of relationship with YHWH and without them there is no covenant.
4. Be open to additional sources. I highly recommend the Yada Yahweh site as it is filled with amazing resources including translations of Scripture from the original Hebrew using the Dead Sea Scrolls. Is can be found here: http://yadayahweh.com/. The site Bless Yahowah is also amazing, having the great document foundational document "An Introduction to God" which is really life changing: http://www.blessyahowah.com/
5. Don't be afraid of non-religious historical sources. While they may not understand the truth of Yahowah, they can be good sources of historical information.
6. Test everything, look things up for yourself.
7. Have fun learning and growing as a family in the knowledge of YHWH - unencumbered by religious dogma or doctrine.
