June 2010

June - a lovely month!! Spent a lot of time in the garden this month - planting flowers & vegetables & pulling out weeds!
June - a very successful month for Rutha. She won a medal & certificate for being the highest scorer in her grade on the Continental Math League & NJ Math League Tests. She also won a 3rd place plaque at the Princeton Charter School Chess Tournament on June 12. Rohun won a medal - he actually won 1 game against a 3rd grade girl! His enthusiasm for chess is boundless so far. Recd Rutha's 4th grade school report card - she excelled in every subject & got an excellent report from the G&T teacher Mrs. Rogaski - who commended her on her high organization skills & for "getting things done". She looks forward to working with her in the Odessey of the Mind program next year.

June 17th - my b'day - got a lot of beautiful cards from the kids, Pramod & Papa. Many wishes by email, FB & phone calls. On this day Rohun "graduated" from the Montessori Kindergarten class - he was moved up from Pre-K in late March. He was the dragon fly in the class play "The Very Quiet Cricket". He also took part in his class' science fair - did a model of a car moving on wind energy (a balloon).

June 20th was Father's Day - missed my Dad not being here. Pramod got shirts & ties from us & a card from the kids. June 21st for Papa's b'day - missed him again - his sister's and other family visited/called him & spent time with him.

June was also a month of promises kept by an Always Faithful God. In the layoffs & reorganization in my dept not only was my job safe but the number of my reports increased from 3 to 5. I look forward to this added responsibility. Also looking forward to diving into the area of Diabetes Research at work.

My Rohun is desperate for friends & playdates - he just loves having those but unfortunately does not have any or as many as his sister Rutha - which totally ticks him off! My prayer for him is that he has many friends and gets to have the best time with them his entire life!! But one thing he knows - he does not care to have a playdate with any friends who have (large) dogs - he has declared that he is allergic to dogs!!
