A New Neighbor?

So the other night Ian and i were outside and we were playing with this new flashlight we got. Ian was shining it all over the backyard when he spotted a possum. We kept the light on him for awhile and he just stayed still for what seemed like 10 min. but was probably around 3. Then we were out at night a couple nights later and saw it again scurrying across our fence and then it disappeared on the side of the house and we heard it fall. So i got out the flashlight again to see if it landed in our yard, with a bit of trepidation and fear i might add not knowing whether or not this thing was going to fly out and attack me or kindly keep to itself. But he wasn't there; so i assume our neighbors had a closer view of him. Although, i don't know if it is a "he" b/c i was talking with my other neighbor and she said that she saw the possum with two babies on its back. But as long as it doesn't come to close to us, or attack our kitties, the possum, he or she, is welcome to stay.
I took some pictures but it was so dark that all you can see are its beady little eyes...sorry they aren't very good

Having another baby GIRL!!!

Ian and I went to the Dr.s today and we obviously found out we're having a girl! We are very excited, Ian was actually more excited to here that we are having a girl then if we were having a boy, he thinks that a little sister is just what Aubrey needs. I would still like to try again for a boy but we'll make that decision well after this baby comes. Ian seems to think that he'll be content with 2 but at this point I'd like to have at least 3, but then again i have NO idea what it's like to have 2 so like i said we'll just wait to make any final choice.
