Keeping Up With The De Oliveiras: June Heat

Another hot day here in the south-west of France. We're really starting to get in the habit of completely shutting one side of the house depending on what time of day it is. It really seems to help - today it stayed a few degrees cooler in the living area until the late afternoon, and the bedrooms are much cooler. It should be easier to go to bed tonight than if we had kept the shutters open.

Carlos has one more week of teaching and then it's exam week. He should be supervising an exam or two during that time but many of his students will stop coming to school the last week of June. We have another appointment scheduled with the midwife for that last week to see how things are progressing. At the last visit she figured I still had a little while left, which would be easier to bear if it weren't so hot! Looks like the weather will be cooling down starting tomorrow, complete with rain starting mid-week. Though I do like having sunshine, the rain has been doing wonders for the lawn Carlos replanted in the back.

Aimy is being pretty good about me not being able to do as much with her lately. She definitely loves it when both her parents are home to be with her, and as soon as it's sunny she starts hanging out at the door, wanting to go outside. Still a fan of her books too! The first photos were taken with my phone so they're not as good quality as the others, but still give an idea of what the little munchkin has been up to lately.
