Early riser, Shane… he woke me up at 6 am. Grrrr.

It’s 40º!

Shane, excited about seeing a crescent moon in the morning.

Hiking after the big hearty breakfast.

They love to collect rocks.

Holding 37 lb. + 33 lb. = 70 lb.!!

This week is kids spring break. So we decided to take a short trip to Lake Placid  which is about 4.5 hours away.

We enjoyed driving through beautiful scenic views.

Staying here for the next three days.

They are such a happy bunch!

My parents are leaving to go back to Korea tomorrow. They stayed with us for the past 6 months to help us out with kids rides, cooking, groceries, etc, you name it. My mom prepared and packed lunches for the kids AND me every single week day for the past 6 months. That’s some serious dedication and love! I feel so blessed to have such support and love from my parents and I’ll miss them so much…

We went over to the Wei’s for a play date today.

They prepared make-your-own-pizza lunch which was really fun for the kids.

Gotta get more cheese!

Mr. Andrew was in charge of the oven department.

They also did lots of craft projects.

Now the tasting part!

Yum!

Then they went out side and did egg hunting.

hint! hint!

They found tons of eggs.

Love that smile.

Shane’s singing to get more eggs from auntie SJ.

endless counts of candies…

Now decorating more eggs.

My attempt to do ombré effect…

Cute moment: Shane, playing with baby Mikaela.

I wasn’t able to soothe her but Andrew did. He still got that magic touch.

Thank you guys for another fun-packed day!

Andrew lost his dad when he just started college. I never met him but I know he would be so proud of Andrew… and that he’s watching us and praying for us in heaven.

Chloe drew my mom in her  new “book”.  She thinks my mom is the most beautiful person. So sweet.

Her first book is called ‘The Zoo’ which is inspired by her favorite book ‘Put me in the Zoo’ by Dr. Seuss. She said, we can take turns taking it for business trips.

This is me.

My one-of-a-kind Customized Silhouette Pendants became the most popular item on my website. My favorite part of the design process begins when I receive adorable submission photos of babies and children and I get to illustrate them. I usually send customers two to three illustrations as options. From the few e-mails I exchange with my customers, I continue to stay in touch some of them even after their orders have been completed. The feedback on my silhouette pendants have been overwhelming – several customers have sent me endearingly sweet thank you notes.  I am touched by the gracious feedback and feel as though I have contributed to their family by capturing their little one in a precious pendant. I wanted to share some of their comments below:

Hi Cadence – Thanks so much for your email. I received the package yesterday – the necklace is great! Thank you so much. Have a wonderful holiday and new year! – Katherin

This is one of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received…so personal…so perfect…so close to my heart. – Danielle

Here’s my wife’s response. OMG I LOVE IT.  My eyes are tearing up!
I would say you have exceeded our expectations. Please proceed with the next step. Best Regards, – David M

I got the necklace today and it’s perfect and beautiful! thank you so much! – Moon

For Mother’s Day, my husband had a silver pendant of our son’s profile made for me (at my request) from your company.  I LOVE it!! – Jill

Cadence, I just wanted to let you know how much happiness you have brought to my wife.  She absolutely loves the necklace and catches herself looking in the mirror at it.  This brings her closer to our daughter when we are at work and our daughter is not by our side. I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful design. Kindest Regards, – David

This customer wanted a diamond in her ponytail.

This one is in rose gold with a diamond.

Because we went to church super early this morning, we had the whole day to play. So we went to the zoo.

Kids sang during the first service today so we got up extra early this morning trying to get to church on time.  Here’s my boy Shane!

And here’s my shy girl Chloe. She barely opened her mouth and looked up. Oh Chloe…

They all did a wonderful job!
