My Family Tree

Marvin's Family Circle

My name is Marvin and this is my family. I've recently turned 40 years old and I am the writer/philosopher on the far right of both life and this picture.

Next to me is "Bobert" (his name is Robert, but his mother won't let me call him Bob so I compromised) the 2 year old "other boy" on our team. Here he's doing his James Dean impression.

Beside "Bobert" is Jeanie, the forever young and incredibly beautiful wife and mother/basket weaver/teacher.

At the top right is Tori. She's about to turn 13 and is my personal favorite oldest child.

Our family would be incomplete without Emma. She's our 9 year old jumper/gardener/socialite and the highly favored middle child.

We are a very real and very normal American family We have the same desires as many other households all over the world....

-- to live our lives in the pursuit of something larger than ourselves,
-- to reach our full potential,
-- to increase our ability to add value to people,
-- to spend most of our time doing the really important things in life,
-- to develop strong relationships both inside and outside our household,
-- to grow in health and wealth without compromising our values.....

And at the end of the day, we want to pass those values successfully to the next generation in a meaningful way. I share my heart for family leadership with you in the hope that you'll find encouragement along your quest for developing a firm family tree.
