Now that I have Baby Yeji, I've been thinking a lot about Family Values. She is getting baptized soon, and the Pastor had asked to really sit down, think, and discuss our core family values. She was a newborn (well, she still is a newborn..) and I think that was my husband's first week back at work so we didn't have much time to mull it over and discuss it. Plus, when I notice when I discuss things with church people, I tend to make things very church-y. I definitely want to be God-centered, but now I want to be more real about what are my values.. and what am I modeling for Yeji and my other future babies? Am I doing a good job building good character? What is good character? Those are all questions I've been asking myself.
