Other information about the household:

Tim is a lawyer. His hobby is bicycling and photography.

Julie is a social worker.

Catalina is going to college in the fall at Lawrence University. It will be her first year, and she will be studying art.

William will be in 11th grade at Cherry Creek High School. He enjoys studying science and playing videogames.

There is a Rockies game the weekend the students will be here, so if a student likes baseball, we could take them to a baseball game.

My wife and children are Native American (Navajo). That might be of special interest to a student.
