Another small Snowstorm

Here I am from the balcony of our apartment again. It always looks
magical when it snows outside! I love snow!

Where did my nose go?

Oh, my!?! So this crazy thing happened...Joe and Anne went out with
Gus and left me home with the doggies. When Anne got in the car, she
realized I wasn't there and came up to get me. Meanwhile, Astro
decided she was going to "play" with me. I think she was jealous that
Anne spends a lot of time with Gus...at any rate, Astro had bit my
nose off and Anne rescued me in the nick of time! Later, Joe used a
drill to turn my nose into a button of sorts and Anne sewed it back on
and then glued it, too. After that, I'm more sturdy than ever! What a
scary experience!

Family Walk

Here we are on a beautiful December day out for a family walk over the
Stone Arch Bridge! Anne, Joe, and the doggies are here with me and
Gus, but you can't see me very clearly in the larger family photo. In
this one, you can see me on Gus' left side inside the awesome and cozy
chariot stroller. I love going for rides with Gus!

First Trip to Target - or any shopping place!

Here we are a little north of the city at a Target store on Christmas
Eve! Gus is one week old today and we decided to get out of the house
to get Anne moving and get her into the Christmas spirit. How neat to
see dad when we get there!

I'm in the Band

Here we are at Children's Hospital and Clinic. Baby Gus has jaundice
and has lost weight, so we are here to see a pediatrician and to do
some blood tests to make sure he gets treatment if he needs it.

I'm in front of a very neat, long drawing with all kinds of
interesting creatures in a band. Of course, both Anne and I like the
clarinet creatures the best!

Home now...

We are home with Baby Ennesser. Now he has a name - Gus. It was either
that or Blue. Everyone liked Gus, so Joe's choice didn't get the final
vote...Gus likes to travel already and hangs out with me in his
car-seat sometimes. I like hanging with Gus!

Baby Ennesser!

Here I am with the newest member of our family! Gus was born @ 6:57 pm
on December 17, 2011. He was 8 lbs, 5 oz and 22.2 inches long. Joe
snuck me into the surgery room as we had to deliver via Caesarian
section. It was really special to be there. I think Anne liked that I
was there, too. Now that he is here, I like riding around and watching
over him in his bassinet.

Creative Thursday Heaven!

Here I am in Gus' little corner of the world. We live in a loft
apartment, so essentially we are all in one giant room...Gus has an
area just big enough for a crib and changing table/dresser. I'm laying
in his bed in Creative Thursday heaven! There are seven prints by a
neat lady named Marisa who draws and paints the most amazing
creatures, especially bunnies! Her company is called Creative
Thursday. We are going to be making custom frames for them - I can't
wait to do that project with Joe and Anne!

View From the Balcony

Here I am out on our very small "Juliet" balcony. You can see the
remnants of the snowstorm yesterday...it is so neat to watch the snow
and see the cold water of the Mississippi out of our window! The only
problem is when the snowplows go by all night long - even when the
road is already clear!

Snowstorm @ Super Target

Here I am outside of a Super Target during a neat snowfall. The trees
out I front look so beautiful! I love trees with snow on them!

Snow!

Hey everyone! Doing some errands and we are out in the snow! Good
thing i have my scarf on. The flakes are very large and fluffy...there
isn't much wind and the temperature is right at 32. Makes for nice
packy, snowman building snow! Joe made a snowball with the snow on our
balcony and Astro ate it! I like snow - it makes things Christmas-y.

Trip to Target

Hi everyone - I don't normally post pictures of Anne or Joe, but this
one is special. Here we are out at Target to get some stuff. Do you
recognize the guys I'm in the picture with? It is Joe and the
advertisement with Joe! He went to LA for a photo shoot last summer
for the Target endcap. Every time we go to Target, I get to see him!

It has been cold here, so I have my nice Target red scarf on.

I like winter and Joe!
