The photo shoot and other fun Minneapolis events

Gus officially earned his first paycheck on Friday. The shoot with Target went pretty quick but in the end, it was just too much noise, people, activity, and all-around craziness for him to be his usual smiley self. We were extremely proud of him even though he didn't smile for every shot. After this experience all 3 of us agree, he is not cut out to be in the modeling industry. This one shoot was good enough. We had fun and have some good memories. Thanks again, Brett, for sending us the opportunity.

Here he is with his legs up, relaxing, on the way into the studio.

I didn't take very many photos but I managed to quickly snap one of his studio scene on our way out. He thought the high char was uncomfortable even though it is fairly hip.

He felt like himself again within seconds of Ross taking him out of the chair and back to the changing room.

After the shoot we all headed up to Ross's office and and said hello to his Mpls co-workers. Ross stayed at work and Gus & I headed back to Chaska for an afternoon nap. He wasn't in the mood to sleep. He wanted to check out his old house!


We spent the evening at our good friends' Mike & Michelle's house, grilling and catching up with everyone. Holly, Paul and Jaime were all there, too. It felt so normal we both forgot that we moved.

Gus loves their dog, Mollie.


It was time for a diaper change and Mollie wanted in on the action.


He loved hanging out on the floor watching Mollie prance by.

After breakfast on Saturday, we headed into Costco to stock up on baby supplies and other items we haven't purchased since making the move to Fargo.

Gus was pumped.


We slept, read, ate, and played hide-the-baby-under-the-blanket on the way home.

I almost forgot to mention another big event that occurred this week - he got his first tooth! If you open this pic up, you can see his little white tooth poking through.

Mpls was great but we are still pleased with our decision to call Fargo our new home. 3 hours in the car isn't bad so anytime we miss our friends and the Mpls life, we'll just hop in the car.
