It was a most forgotten day, by the family, but the cake at work was the wackiest ever and the hugs from the boys made it all better.

Trevor running away from EMO

He can run, but he cannot hide. I was able to snap the back of the boy as he ran off to wash out the traces of style in his haircut before anybody could witness it. Darn, he looked so good, too. Kind of like LUKE on As the World turns! http://www.vanhansis.net/ Posted by Picasa

The Party Boy

So there were five boys, home-made pizza, pop, and cake. The reek of AXE was wafting through the house and still lingers...but Nadar stayed out of the hospital! Posted by Picasa
