My Family

Jeff

My husband is Jeff Chambers. We live in St. Louis, MO, with our guinea pig, Boca, and our daughter, Grace. He currently attends University of Missouri, St. Louis, where he is studying Mechanical Engineering. We're pretty different - he hates both math and Buffy, the two coolest things I know of - but despite this, he's pretty great.

Grace

My daughter's name is Grace Moriarty Chambers. We call her Mort. (Don't ask.) Here are some cute pictures on my flickr account.

Parents

My parents are Robert and Susan Wolf; they live in Edwardsville, IL. Dad has just retired from the philosophy department at SIUE; I think he plans to enjoy being a gentleman of leisure for a while. Mom writes weekly columns for the newspaper and volunteers at Cahokia Mounds and the Glen-Ed food pantry. She also teaches classes at SWIC, mainly for the GED and pre-GED program there. She used to teach fourth grade at St. Boniface, but retired a while ago. Mom and Dad also volunteer at the library, and they are very involved at their church, St. Mary's.

Siblings

I have two sisters, Kristin and Kara, and one brother, Erik. Kristin has three children, Maggie, Cole, and Annie, and Kara has two children, Carroll and Genevieve. Both of my sisters are married to their own Jeffs.

Kristin lives in North Dakota, with her husband Jeff. She works at University of North Dakota in the Honors Program, where she gets to teach some very cool classes. Her Jeff is a Dean of Students at University of North Dakota. Maggie is 10 years old, loves to read, and has a black belt in karate. Cole is 7 years old, also loves to read, and is into playing games with his sisters. Annie is 4 years old, and is training to be a gymnast; you might see her at the Olympics in about 12 years.

My brother Erik works at a stock trading company in Chicago. He runs the computer systems for his company, and loves to explore the city and travel to cool places.

My sister Kara lives near Chicago with her Jeff. She works at their church organizing outreach and activities. Her Jeff works at the IBM Innovations Center. He does really cool stuff with computer graphics and related things, and even wrote a book. Their son, Carroll, is about 5 years old, and is an incredibly active kid who loves trains more than anything else. Their daughter, Evie, is 3 years old, and also shows signs of unbelievable cuteness.
