My niece, Julia, recently graduated from Dartmouth and now working as a tutor for the children of rich, famous people, is flying down here for the weekend. She speaks Spanish (having lived in Spain, she does not speak the pure Mexican street Spanish like us, but we do not hold that against her) and German (having lived in Germany). She is very good at math, a great pianist, and a star high school and collegiate rugby player. We think all her accomplishments are very cool, but the reason we are excited she is coming has more to do with Kelly’s post here. Both Julia (Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah call her Jula so as not to confuse her with Aunt Julia), and her sister Kylee have been very special cousins to Kelly and Christian when they were small. Julia and Kylee went to great lengths to keep Kelly and Christian entertained at family get-togethers. They listened to them, told them stories, made stuff for them, played games with them, etc., etc. Julia and Kylee will always be greatly adored in our household. We are truly looking forward to this visit.
