Gus' First Haircut

BEFORE

AFTER

All of his black tips and dark brown puppy hair is gone. He's like a brand new puppy. He's still pretty cute.

The Big Snow

Our house with all the snow we got while we were gone over Christmas. Notice the waist high pile of snow that the snowplow left at the end of the driveway.
Gus enjoying all the snow in the driveway!
The path I made so Melissa and Gus could get to the house. Just under a foot deep at its LOWEST point!
All done!!! Only took 3 hours, but I did do the patio as well.
I did it all by shovel.... Just kidding, good thing for snowblowers.

Gus' favorite thing... the dishwasher

Gus absolutely loves the dishwasher. Here he is trying to sneak a lick or two.

Did you notice he is even licking his lips!?!?! hehehehe

Video of Gus' first big excursion outside!

Welcome Gus!

This is Gus!

He is a Yorkie-Poo and is the sweetest thing ever.

He is about 8 weeks old.

Gus had never been outside until we took him home. So he learned a lot of new things today. When we first took him outside he was a little scared and unsure, but soon he was jumping and running all over the place in the grass! It is too bad it is going to get cold and snowy soon.

These are Gus' parents. His mom his a purebred poodle (on the left). Her name is Misty. His dad is a Yorkshire Terrier (on the right). His name is Spike. We picked up Gus today south of Glencoe (about a 1/2 hour from Hutch).

This is Gus giving his mom a goodbye kiss! She looks kinda sad, doesn't she? You can see some of his siblings there too (he has 1 more brother and 2 sisters in his litter).

He sure had a busy day and has been taking lots of naps today. Here he was cuddled up with me this evening!

He has also had lots of playtime. I think this scene will be happening a lot in our house!

The Last Twins Game at the Dome!!! Or is it???

Picture of us at the game. We were 2 of 51,155 people to attend what was supposed to be the final regular season game at the Metrodome. As it turns out, the Twins wanted to play one more game. Game 163 will be a tie-breaker game vs. the Tigers for the AL Central title. Go Twins!!!

Before the game, the players from both the Twins and Royals were recognized.


The Twins take the field (click play above)

Soon to be AL MVP and AL Batting Champ, Joe Mauer at the plate. He went 0-3, but I doubt he could even see the ball with all the camera flashes that went off during every pitch thrown to him.

The Twins celebrate a 13-4 win!

After the game, there was a Farewell to the Metrodome ceremony. The All-Metrodome team was honored and there was at least one member from every Twins team (1982-2009) that played in the Metrodome represented.

What a CUTIE!!!

We went to Fargo this weekend and got to spend some time with the Lees. Gavin has grown soooo much (we hadn't seen him since the 4th of July). He is keeping his mom and dad very busy as he is crawling all over the place and is now pulling himself up on furniture!

Proud Grandma Lee giving Gavin his bottle... and he is out! He looks pretty comfy.

Gavin and Auntie!

Gavin likes hanging out in his jumper. It has so much to do!

Gavin sure likes his mommy!

This is my favorite picture of him from this weekend. Apparently he just started this squinting thing and here is showing off his 2 new teeth pretty well!
