Once again we beat the crowd by going to the Louvre on Thursday evening. There was hardly any wait to see even the Mona Lisa so this time, I lingered littler and took my time a bit. I even went back for the second time. This is my third time visiting this museum and I always leave feeling I needed more time to observe and admire everything… But I’m so glad I got to share this experience with Chloe.
We had amazing 5 course dinner with wine to celebrate our first night! Even though it was supposed to be 5 course dinner, with chef’s special pre-starters and in-between palate cleanser, bread variety, and complimentary desserts, we felt like we had about 8 or 9 plates of food. Our dinner lasted about 2.5 hours and it was so intimate and special to share it with my girl.
I helped my friend throw her husband his 50 th birthday party. What a beautiful night it was! I had to swallow my tears many times, being so touched and blessed to witness so much love and support shown to this amazing guy! God has truly blessed him and his family with wonderful children, parents, siblings and friends. Most of all, the love that this couple has for each other is a true testimony of God’s love and grace. So blessed to know you and call you my friends!
At last, Shane’s feeling back to himself and we invited his friends over for some fun football theme food to celebrate his birthday. I made so much food, I also asked Chloe to invite her friends over for dinner as well. It was a tiring long day but seeing everyone enjoying the food and the company made everything worth it. So happy Shane is well! Thank you God for your love, grace and protection over Shane. May he love his God and seek his kingdom kingdom first above all else! Love you so much Shane. My sweet sweet boy! Happy 14th!!!!!
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.
