The summer in Mississippi is hot.
The typical daily weather follows this pattern: Wake up to 85 degrees with what feels like 150% humidity. Then, it rapidly warms to the 90s with a afternoon high around 100. The heat index is usually 110-115 due to the extreme heat mixed with the humidity. There is also usually a daily thunderstorm or two to off-set the tremendous heat in the mid to late afternoon.
We essentially sweat 24 hours per day and drink a lot of liquid to stay hydrated. This is merely a fact, and not a complaint. However, we are going to relish the weather in February when it's 5 degrees with a foot of snow back in Ann Arbor!
We are getting settled and are really liking our new home and town. Tomorrow is J's first "official" day at work and he's getting ready for what he hopes will be a good year. A and the kids are bracing for a hot and fun rest of the summer with the new baby kicking away and getting ready to join us next month.
Here are some new pictures of recent adventures (some of which demonstrate the dog days of summer quite well, the first few from up north on moving day, and the rest from our first 2 weeks in the South):
