So, we had an odd little party tonight. It was a head-shaving party. The boys wanted to do something as a show of support so Elise doesn't feel alone. Now, we know it's not the same for boys most of the time, but these three? They LOVE their hair. Love it. But they love Elise more than they love their hair and wanted a physical, tangible show of force. And I will be forever grateful. And humbled.

The obligatory crazed girlfriend pose while the
fake 'boyfriend' has hair. |
 |
| And now they match! Cute couple. |
 |
| This is what happens when your "friends" help cut your hair. |
 |
| Everyone took a turn. |
 |
| Elise hacking at Walker's hair. |
 |
| Taking turns butchering each other's hair. |
 |
| Liam taking the plunge. |
Best anecdote--the boys were cutting hair with a small, goatee-sized trimmer. They decided halfway through the cut that they needed larger, better trimmers. So, they took their half-shaved heads and went shopping at Wal-Mart. Weird part? No one even checked up.

| This is what love looks like. |
 |
| And these are what superheros look like. |

| Elaina proving that she has enough hair for everyone. |

| Um.. |
And even though he didn't make it to our house, here's Landon (a basketball teammate of Carter's and 9th grader) shaving his head at his house.
And here is Andrew (another basketball teammate of Carter's and 9th grader) shaving his head at his house.
Tatumn, a 9th grader who lives on our block, had her own head-shaving party when Elise was diagnosed. :-)
Joseph K. (who is also on the basketball team and in 8th grade) shaved his head at his house.
