Chloe’s had a fantastic time at the camp and these are her lovely cabin mates. It’s great to see them forming true friendship as they get to see each other and spend time together every year.
Shane also had a great time and he hardly had any voice left to talk.
Praise God for their great time and so thankful for all the volunteers at PFC!
Today they are playing matches against other junior team.
All players have to wear white at Upper Ridgewood Tennis Club.
So fun to watch!
Chloe’s been working on her silver award project for Girl Scout this summer. She researched to find out local organizations that worked with a cause she’s passionate about and after making phone calls and writing emails to make appointments which lead to a meeting with a director, she and her friend decided to work with Camp Sunshine. It’s a summer recreational program for children and young adults with multiple disabilities.
This week they started volunteering at the camp and I am so proud of them for coming out each day with bright similes on their faces after a full day of work.
My handy man finished fixing the shed and now it’s time for us to prime and paint.
My thoughtful daughter put a piece of paper towel so she doesn’t splatter paint on my hair. 🙂
She says this is how I look when I paint.
She looks like she painted for hours… in reality she painted for an hour and I finish priming and painting most of it. By myself. Ahem.
Our last stop, Beetlejuice on broadway!
It was a phenomenal show! Definitely one of our fave!
This labyrinth lead me to my secret color:
This “pool” was big hit! We could’ve just stayed here for hours.
Second stop is Color Factory!
I have a very fun day planned for my kids in the city today.
First, eat cake for breakfast at Dominique Ansel Bakery.
Chloe chose the infamous cronut & tiramisu that’s in the shape of NYC coffee cup for her breakfast.
Shane got French toast and I got a spinach and gruyere quiche.
Though the kids loved the idea of eating sweets for breakfast, they barely could finish half of theirs, saying everything was too sweet. They ended up sharing my quiche.. Lol.
New doors, new windows and fixing up walls inside…
Reunited with friends from Cali and HongKong! Miss these guys so much! 
My besties who left me…
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.
