Happy Birthday Travis!

Today is Travis's 27th birthday. Happy Birthday Honey!



We celebrated by going to Schaumburg on Friday night to his FAVE place--Texas de Brazil. He has been signing up for all kinds of email birthday deals so we got a buy one get one free dinner there (and you need it b/c it's not cheap!!). It's the Brazilian Steakhouse we went to over Valentine's weekend. Once again, Travis' card pretty much remained on green, while I was smart and turned mine to red before I was too miserable. It is delicious though! We joked that he had a meat hangover!! He even got a complimentary dessert, which we had for breakfast. Yum! We stayed all night and did some light shopping the next day. (I got a shirt at Pea in the Pod maternity store - Happy Birthday Travis, huh?). It was nice. Then I put him to work the rest of the weekend moving some things around in my office to make room for the pack n'play. We also put the car seat/base in my car so it's ready to go! That proved to be quite the task for us first timers. :) It wasn't that it was hard but we (ok, or should I say Travis...I was the lovely assistant sitting in the backseat) had to redo it a couple times to make sure it was tight enough and then check to see that the little window on the side was 'only showing blue.' I'll probably have someone check it JUST to make sure. My friend Casey (with the law enforcement background) said we can even go to the police station to have it checked.


We went to Portillo's for lunch. They have the best chili dogs!




Only 4 1/2 weeks to go. I had a dr. appt. today and all is still going right on track.
We're off now to Springfield to have dinner with Trav's family at Darcy's Pub--for some yummy horseshoes! (though I am going to have to eat now before I starve!).





OK, so we thought this sign was funny! You actually had to turn left and then another right so maybe technically this sign is correct, if you have the ability to walk through walls. :)
