Adaiya: "The Entertainer"

This picture was taken of Addie when she was 15 months old...and to this day it is the most accurate visual of this kid's personality!  "Bundles" has been her household call name from the time she came home from the hospital and believe me, buddy, SHE IS A BUNDLES!  Bundles of attitude, bundles of joy, bundles of drama, bundles of love...you name it and she brings it!! Two snaps up, girlfriend!! Adaiya was born on April 30, 2009.  For as much commotion as this little girl causes in the house I wish I could tell you that her name had a complex Biblical tale to go with it.  But, no.  Her name is briefly mentioned in II Kings 22:1 as the grandmother of none other than King Josiah!  It was the meaning of her name that entranced us; "Adorned by (ornament of) God".  In our minds, Queen Adaiah must have been a wonderful grandmother because her grandson ruled with Godly wisdom for years.  That sounds like some good home training to us!  And the iron fist this kid wields would be just the ticket!  We pray that as she grows she truly becomes decorated from head to toe in the Grace of God.  The beauty of a life in Christ is the greatest beauty she can attain.

As the Lord would have it, Addie is very precocious. This works very well for us because one of  Josiah's challenges is his lack of drive for social interaction.  Bundles is the perfect antagonist to keep up with Kaiya and work Jojo's nerves to PIECES until he responds to her barage of questions and comments!  Without a doubt, Addie is the Lord's choice to round out our trio of trouble.  We love them all and pray always that we honor the Lord with the treasure with which He has entrusted us.
