It is Julia's 13th birthday day! I met Julia just when she turned 4. I gave her a stuffed puppy dog to try and win her over (I'm not above bribery). I think it worked.
I miss the days of visiting her in Waterloo and watching her play Barbie Genie (I never got a turn!). The first person to call me "Aunt Jill", as Kate always called me "Uncle Jill", Julia has been a wonderful edition to my life.
She is a beautiful girl, both inside and out, and I wish you nothing but the best this year and for the future.
