Choosing Joy in Haiti

April 15, 2012 by Ashley Hackshaw

Shannon from Three Angels Haiti sent us these adorable photos of some of the children wearing their Choose Joy wristbands. These photos make our hearts melt! (You might remember the Bobbie Socks and Bows drive so many Lil Blue Boo readers helped with!)

Three Angels Haiti has an orphanage, school and medical clinic in Petionville, Haiti.

Their mission:

“Everyday, Three Angels Children’s Relief, strives to impact the lives of the most impoverished children of Haiti. Our goal is to enrich their bodies with food, empower their minds through education and enlarge their spirits with love and compassion. We want to try to save these children from death and give them hope for their future.”

Photo of the Day: Lunch Date

April 12, 2012 by Ashley Hackshaw

Mr. LBB comes home from work almost every day to have lunch. He eats in the office with Lisa and I (we call it “family lunch”). It turns out we wore the same outfit today….our “fear will not rule” t-shirts:

A New Normal

April 10, 2012 by Ashley Hackshaw

We are slowly getting back to a new normal around here. I had my first weekly post-chemo blood test yesterday…..only 51 more to go! I think we’ll know in a few weeks if I’m officially in remission. Choriocarcinoma is an aggressive cancer…..so the weekly blood tests are peace of mind too. After my blood test I completely forgot about getting the results. My father-in-law called bright and early this morning….HCG at 2, down from 3 last week so that’s awesome. Visiting the doctors’s office I had some mixed feelings. I saw Nurse M and she said a few other patients had asked where I was last Thursday. She told them “She’s done!” I met so many great people in the infusion center. I hope I get to stay away from that place though.

I feel like I’m getting my energy back. We even hosted Easter brunch here at the house for the whole family.

Boo’s new favorite thing to do? Baking. She and I have made 2 cakes in the last few days. We ate them too. My appetite is slowing getting back to normal!
