Possums and Vegas

OK, only ONE possum, but it was in OUR house. We've seen this possum running around outside, both in front and in back...well, (s)he's been scoping out the joint, so to speak, and has noticed that the cats come into the cat door...and it must have smelled the food, so, in comes the possum. I scared it out, but left the cat door open...and grabbed the camera. (S)he came back later and I snapped this shot.



That was too funny...but dangerous for the kitties and possibly Summer. So, we locked up the cat door and brought in the kitty litter. After a few days we left the flap down, to deter the possum, but kept the kitty litter inside, yuck.

This last weekend we left Summer with Uncle Gabe and Aunt Krissy for an ENTIRE night. We went to Vegas, stayed at the Monte Carlo:



to celebrate my birthday, party, drink (here with Jessica, Tom C and Erika at the Monte Carlo's Pub and Brewery):



and see the Killers in Concert, at the Hard Rock Casino:





Summer was very good for Gabe and Krissy, but made us pay when we returned. Being in Vegas we hardly slept. When we returned Summer stayed awake with no naps and at night she only slept 2 hours at a time. What a pain. ;-) Hey, she was tired, fussy and upset. We showed her we were there for her and Sunday night she was a lot better. She has definitely begun some beginning stages of teething, so that has to be bothering her at night.

I've gotten her to giggle loudly. I'm going to catch that on video, hopefully for the next post or so. She is so funny how she just HOWLS with laughter.

OK, it's late, gotta get ready for bed. I am so going to try and make more frequent posts. I'm sure I'm forgetting things to mention, since I only post once a week. I need a nap before Summer wakes up. She went to bed tonight around 7:00...so she'll be up early, I'm sure.
