Tonight Aletheia discovered what Daddy's iPod does. It was a profound experience for the kid.

(You know, she's going to look at this picture when she's grown up and laugh about what antiquated technology iPods are. I'm sure all her music will be stored in subcutaneous implants that play directly in her brain or something.)

Belated Birthday Gift

Sorry for the long hiatus! I took a trip to California to pick up a car I bought on Ebay (and which the seller subsequently refused to sell, leaving me to walk to a motel and fly home again the next day...long story there) and then I flew to North Carolina to close on our new house and do some painting before we move the furniture in next month. Anyway, I'm back now, and should be doing regular update for a while.

Yesterday we received a package containing Aletheia's birthday gifts from Uncle Kasey and Tia Maria. This nifty outfit was one of the gifts, and it fits her perfectly, even though it's a 2T and she's only 16 months old. Aletheia's really tall for her age. Thanks for the gifts, guys!

Up From The Depths, 30 Inches High

A full shot of the terror that was the Allisaurus. Notice the cookie clutched in her right hand. Allisaurus is a prodigious feeder, terrible in its hunger.

(By the way, catching the reference in the title is worth 3.8 cool points.)

Extra Points for Style

Notice the look of satisfaction on Aletheia's face as she perfects her two-fisted cookie ingestion technique. Excellent productivity, and very little down-time. She's a toddler efficiency expert.

Dinosaur Food

Nana Freda made things better with a very liberal application of cookies to the situation. She has a PhD in Psychology, so we have to take her word that this was the best course of action.

It's Not Easy Being Green

Halloween was a little bumpy this year. One of the adults dressed as Batman really freaked Aletheia out at the church party.

Jack O'Lantern

My entry to the pumpkin carving contest this year. I won a free night bowling. Instead of using it, I've just decided to roll my pumpkin toward the judges when they aren't looking and see if I can knock one down.
