We've also been having a craving for some Korean food in this house!!! It had been too long since we had some great Korean food, so yesterday we decided to take Jae-min to our local Korean restaurant for the first time. He LOVED it. Tried everything and even liked the Kimchi. But...on the way out asked the owner for a "hamburger". Yup, alittle embarassing!!!!
I always get alittle nervous entering the Korean community as I never know what they feel about a Caucasian couple raising a Korean child. But... in true wonderful Korean fashion every person was so sweet and welcoming. It just solidified more why we love this culture. We had one nice man even approach our table and talk with Jae-min. He called him "happy boy"(we've heard that lots before) and just light up. Then he decided to give Jae-min a scoop of ice cream....which surprised us and totally knocked us off our seats. I don't know why though because this is how the people in Korea were too....so friendly and awesome. This would have been a sweet gesture except for the fact that Jae-min CAN'T HAVE ICE CREAM....it gives him big belly bugs. So this sweet man gave Jae-min one very long afternoon of belly aching and no nap. Oh well, take the good with the bad!!!!
A delicious meal makes us miss Korea that much more. We can't wait to go back and hope to take Jae-min there to experience it all for himself!!!!

Yay, Jae-min, if you leave the country you can come back without a problem!! That Korean food looked yummy, but I bet the meat that Daddy makes is better! It certainly is tasty.
We just love to watch you eat and enjoy your food,most of the time. We can only imagine how much of a belly ache you got from that ice-cream. Oh well, it only happens once in awhile.
Love, Mammy & Papa
Hi! It's so nice to "meet" you :) Your little boy is so adorable! Thanks for stopping by my blog - it's always fun to connect with other people who have adopted from Korea!
