Marching on
My friend and fellow blogger, Gaby, has challenged me to beat my illustrious December record of twelve posts during this lovely month of March. I think I ought to give it a go. Shhh, don't remind me that we're already halfway into March.
So here's a little update: My son is starting to walk. This is both adorable, and terrifying. Oh, and he also opens doors now. It's funny to have to tell visitors to lock the bathroom door so our one year old doesn't walk in on them. In more introspective type of news, God has been showing me some ways I need to be more disciplined in taking care of my soul. It's good to sense His pursuit of me. My favorite thing about life lately is having some great conversations and dates with Aaron. That guy is a lot of fun. I'm really grateful to family members who help us have a break from the little dude sometimes. (Is it bad that we are already talking about being empty-nesters? I promise you that we love Owen to the moon... It has just come up in conversation somehow!)
*I wrote this post before the Japan tsunami happened. (Yes, that tells you how long it takes me to post things sometimes. I had to go back and say "halfway into March" where it had originally said "a few days into March".) Let's keep the people of Japan in our prayers.

Great to hear from you again.
Owen is walking! Wow. I remember those early days and realizing now that I need to watch Nick more closely because he was more independent now.
It seems God is showing us both more introspective things. In case you didn't see earlier this week, I shut down my Facebook page entirely. It was time because I found myself spending too much time in it and not enough time with Him. I'm hopeful that this will also give me more time and discipline with my blogging.
Looking forward to more posts!
Hi, Joe!
Thanks for the comment! Yep, it's amazing how the vigilance needed to keep our kid from danger keeps getting kicked up a notch. We have marvelled that there was a time when all he could really do to move around was roll over!
I think your motivations for leaving Facebook are great. I caught your blog post about it through my Twitter feed. May God bless you in your desire for more time for Him, your family, and good things! Ditto on looking forward to more posts!
