The Stickley family adventures started in Hawaii in 2005 when Cris and Emilie were married. The real excitement began in May 2008, when Nova was born. 2 short months later, our little June-Bug joined the family from all the way in Vietnam. The next few crazy years included Emilie being deployed to Afghanistan, while Cris and the girls moved back to Hawaii, then a long year of living apart (and a lot of trips across the Pacific Ocean), while Emilie remained in Colorado to complete her Army committment, and Cris had to stay in Hawaii for his job at the University.

In the summer of 2012, little Jude joined our family, and the whole gang reunited for good in Hawaii!

Follow our adventures, as we try to keep track of life with our 3 crazy kids, while keeping our friends and family updated on the happenings here in Hawaii!

Cris' leg

because i am in an army residency we have mandatory PT a few times a month. It usually is just playing "ultimate football" which is basically just throwing the ball. no touching or tackling. just throwing and running. But the guys for some reason find it necessary to constantly be hurting eachother during the game. Cris often comes along to PT with me. The residents all play, and the medical students if we have some rotating. 3 weeks ago one of the medical students tackled Cris, and everyone on the field heard "pop-pop". Cris hobbled over onto the sidelines, and then eventually walked to the truck to ice his ankle. He used crutches for 3-4 days, then abandoned those and started just walking on the ankle. Never got better, never got better. Finally, after much prodding he agreed to get an x-ray. You guessed it...broken. The tibia and fibula.
So off to orthopedics, who basically said since he has already been walking around on it for 3 weeks, he could just keep doing what he was doing. they gave him a little boot, and off he went. enjoy the visual aids
Still no news on the Stickley Baby. It's March 26th, so the chance of a March referral is looking pretty slim. We are so excited to finally get to see our baby girl's picture, and we are just trying to be patient. There are many many factors that play into international adoption, so we are just trying to go with the flow.
