This will be our Saturdays and Sunday mornings for the next two months. Now that we have Shane’s games on early Sundays that means we are going to our Church services at 8:30am. It was tiring, but definitely worth making the adjustment to watch him play!
Go Shane!!
My boy!
This was an exciting game to watch! Wow I’m really impressed that all the boys gave their 100% and Shane’s team won!
Chloe’s first soccer game started this morning. Now that she’s in the 3rd grade, they compete against different town teams in Bergen County.
I’m so proud of Chloe for trying hard today. She barely touched the ball last year but this year, she kicked the ball out of her opponent a few times at this very first game!
Love that my parents got to enjoying seeing my kids play before they take off in a couple of weeks…
We are taking it easy this labor day weekend getting back to the daily routine and getting over the jet leg slowly. 
Just in the afternoon, kids wanted to have a picnic so we packed up a few things and headed over to a little gem spot Andrew found in Cold Spring, NY
A frog!
I caught a frog and won kids (and Andrew’s) admiration.
I used to catch all kinds of insects, frogs and fish with my hands when I was a kid but I don’t know why my kids are not like that. Especially Chloe, she would scream so loud at any sight of small bugs… She definitely gets that from someone I know… Hmmm.
Italy you’re beautiful! You’ll always be my second home~~
Ready to eat!
The best steak I ever had without a doubt. Wow.
It’s been one of my bucket lists to take my parents back to Italy for a while and having done that, I am so grateful to God. It means so much to me that I got to share this experience with my kids and Andrew. Thank you Lord! You’re so GOOD!
Last night’s sunset….
Everyone went to go back to the hotel in mid afternoon except for Chloe and I wanted to hang out and wonder around some more! I’m so happy and grateful that I have a daughter who has a common interest and wants to be with me all the time!
Fresh sweet tomato!
Wife, Mother, jewelry designer &
graphic designer /Creative Director, I am HaeWon Cadence Ryu. This is a glimpse into my life’s blessings, passion and inspiration.
This blog came to fruition after I began motherhood; I wanted to be able to capture every millestone of my two beautiful children - Chloe & Shane as they journey through their early years. Since the launch of my online jewelry site, cadencelee.com, I’ve come face-to-face with having to juggle multiple roles. As a result, I have decided to feature some of my designs and inspiration alongside postings of my precious family. For me, this is the perfect medium of work-life balance.
