Thank You, Chicago!

Chicago is such a great town. I really got the royal treatment. Even the homeless people are nice when you're pregnant! This man asked us to buy him a paper, then he said, "Aw, never mind. You've got a little one. I know where all of your money goes!"

Isaiah said it right when he said, "Car! Beep! Beep!" Those people in that city must honk their horns for no reason. Naturally, most of the honking was coming from taxi cabs. At one point I looked up, and a cabbie was waving at us. We realized that they were trying to get our attention to give us a lift. I guess they felt sorry for the huge pregnant lady walking the Magnificent Mile. :-)

Isaiah kept himself busy with his toys and books while we packed up the room. I can't tell you what we found under the bed. This is a family blog, after all. I will tell you that we should have taken it to the hotel management - our room probably would have been discounted! I found the "item" when I was checking to be sure we didn't leave any of Isaiah's toys behind. EWWW!!! GrOsS!


Here's what our champagne bucket looked like on New Years Eve. Milk, anyone?
We went for dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Oh my goodness. What a wonderful meal! We really, really, really enjoyed our filet and lobster tail. Yummy! Isaiah was so well behaved. I was a little nervous taking him to such a nice restaurant, but his BK hamburger we gave him beforehand kept him full and happy. He played with his Teddy Graham snack while we were eating. He even named them - Mama, Daddy, Isaiah, and Baby. How cute is that?!?!
Chicago wore me out!
