I feel the second act lacks compelling conflict.

The world's smallest dramaturg made her professional debut today at one of Studio's literary meetings. She had some loudly voiced opinions about the state of the 2008-2009 season...

First Bath

After the goopy bellybutton finally cleared up, a bath!

Curious but cautious...

Mom! The towel's inside out!

This one was too cute not to post, even though it was so blurry...

Um, Dad, watch that leg!

AJ and Marcia!

AJ: Criminal Mastermind!

When she came in...

Today we took her for her first walk in the neighborhood. Somewhere in the back of the mind--spurred by a random thought of 'what does she dream about?'--was the thought of letting her see something to inspire her.

I don't think she needed that yet... she came into the world bleary eyed but seeing just what she needed, having seen already what we too soon forget.

We only hope to help her feel back at home. Less strollers more sleeping and remembering of our home.


"Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!"
--William Wordsworth

And Diana and Venus rose to great her before the sun on her first morning!

Annelise Joy _

Annelise Joy: Born 10:29AM on 2Jan2008 9lbs 4oz / 20inches.

This is not her birth picture but rather how she looked today while conversing with the Buddha. Yes those are D's facial features but P's hair and expression.
Below you can see her wearing P's favorite clothes but with a touch of modesty, apparently something D has already taught her.
EnJoy!

DnPnAJ landed

We are landed and home. The rooms are quiet for long intervals and we three are resting together. We are rechistening as DnPnAJ, though AJ is clearly at the helm. Yes, photos are coming.

DnP to Houston

Roger Houston we read you...
We are still orbiting a tiny celestial body currently designated AJ-080102. Contact was initially made about 41 weeks ago, but visual contact began at 1029 on 02January 2008. Audio contact was established loud and clear at 1029:01 and reignites whenever the surface of AJ exhibits wrinkling on the upper hemisphere and/or a reddish flush appears on her surface.
She is exerting more attraction on us than the gravity field her 4.2kg body can possibly generate. We are making plans for reentry and return to a normal that is sure to be altered if not permanently new. For now we will focus on sending photographic documentation.
We know only for sure that she is too beautiful for words, and we hope, pray, dream that she'll keep us... that God will keep her and us safe and healthy... that we can make her feel safe and loved.
PnD to Houston Out...
