i've really loved the mild winter so far. will make it much more bearable to delay our vacation to florida until summer. and, Eve will be crawling by then so she'll probably enjoy the trip much more. it's amazing how inward focused you become after having a child. i suppose that's good (partly) and the way God designed it so that we can care for our children. however, i believe it's equally important to continue to be outward focused and care for those around us and not just our immediate families. it's a discipline, though, since you don't have nearly as much time. but, there's got to be a way to reconcile the two--seemingly opposing-- postures.
