Celebrating Beau

Last Monday we celebrated Beau's third homecoming day and we tried to make it a very special day! 

We started the day by making a Light 'Em Up pack for our mail carrier...basically just a little way to say "thank you" and start instilling a heart of generosity in Beau.  

Beau was so proud to tape his card to the front of the mailbox and we put the gatorade and crackers inside.  We didn't expect anything in return, but our mail carrier wrote the sweetest thank you note in return, which was fun for Beau to receive.  

Next up we headed to TaKorea for lunch!  Because the restaurant is close to downtown, Raleigh worked it out to go with us at lunch because we knew trying to get there during afternoon rush hour would be a disaster.  

We had a wonderful experience there and will definitely go back! The food was delicious! 

Funny note...we realized we've lived in suburbia a long time because we got downtown and had no cash for parking! LOL! We never even thought of it!  My dad was always so good about keeping some cash in his wallet and I am really going to do better about it!  Luckily, there was a Publix a block or two away so we made a purchase and got some cash back. :) 

 We sat inside, but there is a small patio that would be nice in the evenings! 

 Raleigh had sesame fries and tacos...I can't remember exactly what type of tacos he ordered.

Beau had a bulgogi taco.  It looked and tasted even better in real life! 

I had tofu bibimbop which was absolutely yummy! 

There were several little Korean touches throughout the restaurant. 

After lunch we came home and the boys napped.  

Palmer had an early bath and dinner so that we could let Beau stay up late with just us. 

Palmer didn't seem to mind.

One of Beau's favorite activities is loading the Kcups in the drawer under the keurig.   

We accidentally left the stool out, and before we turned around Palmer was copying big brother! This boy loves to climb and explore! And he knows when he has done something sneaky because he will look back at you and smile. 

We ordered a late night pizza and let Beau stay up super late and watch tv. He loved it! 

Like father, like son! 

It was a great day celebrating Beau!
