Really, Pooh says it best.  We'll have plenty of time for a family.  

We are stopping to savor the moments before that happens.  I feel lucky that we have this time in our lives to stop and smell the "honey."

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think.  Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.
