Adia Antics

So, our daughter Adia is at the funniest age. She loves language so we play a "vocabulary" game. She wants to hear words like "genuine", "hypocrisy", "catasrophe", and "automotive" (can anyone use a sentence with all of those words together?) with their definitions. Then she comes up with big words that she knows (like hippopotomus)... it is a riot! She also thinks that "actually", "technically", "probably", and "possibly" are words that should be in her everyday 3-year-old vocabulary. We are used to it now, but you should hear the comments from people who hear those words for the first time! She definitely keeps us in stitches!

our family vacation

Hi all! We just got back from family vacation in Gatlinburg, TN! We had a great time hiking, swimming, going to "holiday" (the Incredible Christmas Place, in "Adia language"), and seeing the Aquarium... Mostly, though, we just enjoyed being together and having some down time. Despite a near-breakdown with the van (thank the Lord- it was easily taken care of), and having to drive back 2 hours after our coming-home departure time (details later), we had no complications!
