June

So it looks like I'm proving monthly updates . . . this one will cover last month.  It's actually been a good, yet crazy one because it was the beginning of interviews and job offers for Anuraj. We're still making decisions, hopefully we'll know in the next week or so.  Other than that, this is the latest into the summer that we've ever spent here. 

Beginning of June:  Jill finished her practicum with Chemonics, International.  A USAID contractor that's overseeing the USAID's Nepal Transition Initiative.  The bulk of my work involved writing case studies of a few of their programs and tagging along on a field visit.

Middle of June:  Anuraj traveled to New York City for work where he met up with my mom who took the train out to meet him for a few days.  No pics of that. We realized after he was at the airport that he forgot the camera!  Oops!

End of June:  Anusha's Dada and Dadi (paternal grandparents) visited Kathmandu. 

Here are some pics from the month of June!

One of Anusha's funny faces . . .

Pics with mom!

Doing what she does best . . . painting and making a mess!

Congratulations to me, on the last day of my practicum!

Anusha with Maneka:
babysitter, cook, housecleaner and daily company, extraordinare!

Anusha with her new favorite backpack (from her Nani). She is very proud to show everyone her new backpack!  And, much to my dismay, she packs lots of random things in there.  Like my cell phone.

Anusha riding an elephant at her cousins house.  Just last year, I had to help her get up on it!
Now she's a solo artist and her toes nearly touch the ground!

Sorry, I was going to post more, but I'll have to continue another day.  For now, enjoy some of the random happenings of June in Kathmandu, Nepal.
