Aletheia's mommy and I are taking a weekend trip to Durham, North Carolina, which is approximately 1841.342 miles away from here. We have to leave at 7:15 to catch our flight, so last night we left Aletheia with her adopted grandparents, Nana Freda and Papa Doug, who are keeping her for the weekend. Nothing about that is making me irrationally nervous, and it is just a coincidence that I happened to wake up at 3:45 a.m., unable to fall back asleep, here on the first night that Aletheia has stayed away from home without us. I am not having to fight any impulses to call and check on her, and I certainly haven't dreamed up forty-three different things that could go horribly wrong while we are away from her. Nor have I looked up any childhood disease information online to see what things she could possibly be diagnosed with before Sunday night. I'm just saying this for the record.
No, the purpose of this early early early morning post is simply to say that with our travels this weekend, there'll be no new Aletheia pictures until Sunday night or Monday--possibly later if she's all covered with scabs and pustules when we get back. We should probably wait for those to clear up some.

During and After
I know there has been a lot of suspense out there among Aletheia Update fans about how the haircut went, so I will give you not one, not two, but three pictures in just one post so you can see the final result.
Sharon did a nice job with Aletheia, and she was about as cooperative as a 13 month old can be during the procedure. She got to hold her own hairbrush, and that made everything better.
Mommy had just gotten a fresh haircut, too, and she held Aletheia through the process. She did not, no matter what it looks like here, choke Aletheia and pull off her left ear. It wasn't even a consideration.
Afterward, another daddy-daughter pose. If anything, she nudged even higher up on the cuteness scale, achieving a near-record 9 3/4 Gerbers.
Her daddy, unfortunately, remained unimproved.

Before the Haircut
Aletheia's hair was starting to get into her eyes, so her mommy took her to get a haircut today. I came along to document the event, but mommy insisted on taking a daddy-daughter shot before the snipping began.

Watching Sea Lions
Yep, another trip to the zoo. This one didn't have rhinoceroses or storks, which were her apparent favorites at the San Antonio Zoo, but she did enjoy watching the sea lions swim by her.
