Our Family

OUR FAMILY IS SO BLESSED!

Meet our family . . .

ROB –
a.k.a. Daddy Rob, as Zoe calls him – is a professor of philosophy at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, MN. It’s a very good job, and he finds a lot of time to work on the numerous books he is going to publish. He is passionate about philosophy and finds both publishing and teaching to be rewarding. He is equally passionate about staying healthy and works out almost every single day! When not hanging out with the family or at the gym, he can be found working on his computer at the local coffee joint, “The Daily Grind.” So if you ever find yourself in Marshall, stop in and join him for a cup of coffee!

SUSAN – a.k.a. Mommy – is now a stay-at-home mother and LOVING it! She fills her days reading children’s books aloud, playing games, tossing the ball, going for walks (when the weather is nice), arranging play dates, cooking dinner, doing laundry, and the list goes on. She is passionate about being the very best Mommy she can possibly be. She goes to MOPs – a group for mothers of preschoolers – every other week, is on the Early Childhood Family Education Parent Advisory Board, and is taking a psychology class at the university.

ZOE – a.k.a. “jie jie” or big sister – is getting to be a very big girl at almost two and a half. All on her own, she has decided that she is interested in the potty. She LOVES her potty books and sits on the big girl potty for long periods of time each day. She hasn’t had any success at actually “going” on the potty yet, but she is very proud of all her efforts! Zoe is beginning to use more and more spoken language, and she has the sweetest voice Mommy and Daddy have ever heard. She is a little snuggle bug and the light of our lives. That’s not to say that she doesn’t have a two year-old temper … believe us when we say that she does. But we love everything about her! Zoe goes to “Book Club,” swim lessons, “Tumbling Tots,” and preschool on Fridays. She also attends an Early Childhood Family Education class every Thursday morning with Mommy. Zoe can say “mei mei” which means little sister in Chinese. And we think she is going to be a terrific big sister to little Lexi!

Family Hug!
