We got hit by some kind of tropical storm and our neighbor’s trees fell on our properties, and branches and debris fell everywhere on my garden. Thankfully we didn’t lose our power like so many of people in our neighborhood.
My boy cleaning up the patio!
Chloe has been by my side, helping me getting up and down, getting me water and food, and even reading to me. What an angel…
We also spent time watching girly chick flicks like Breakfast At Tiffiany’s (which turned out to be not so appropriate btw ;P) and Clueless and enjoyed some quality girls only time. How did I get so lucky…
So the dumb me thought that I was feeling better this morning so I went out to the garden, tended to it, got some herbs to make pesto pasta for lunch for the family. My mom has been cooking for the whole family and I wanted to help today since I was feeling more energetic… and I did some laundry while I was at it… when the pain back and started throbbing.
So I learned my lesson, took my meds, went back to my bed and promised to do nothing until I see my doctor in 10 days… Oh well, I tried. I just have to close my eyes and ignore all the things I see that needs to be done around the house…
My friend took the kids all day for a playdate at their house so I can rest… Thank you Anna for taking the kids all day and giving them a wonderful day!
I had an emergency appendectomy surgery and I’m home today after spending a couple days in a hospital. That was wild. I’m thankful it wasn’t anything serious and God delivered great hands to treat and heal me. So thankful for all the nurses, and doctors who took such good care of me with such kindness and for my friends who reached out, prayed, sent me food as soon as I got home and got groceries for the whole family! Feeling overwhelmed with a grateful heart… Thank you Kayla and Anna for the dinner and groceries!!
My mom makes the best seaweed soup and kalbi for all of our birthdays!
We had so much leftover lobsters, I made ramen using lobster broth. So GOOD.
We celebrated my dad’s birthday with a lobster feast. Happy birthday to a loving Dad/Grandfather who loves God and loves his family, a faithful follower of Christ and a devoted husband. Love you Dad!
When we can’t go to Maine, Maine came to us!
Ordered six 2 lbs lobsters from Mainelobstersnow.com and they are alive!!
Lesson continues even @96 ? weather…
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.
