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!

SURPRISE!! New photos and an update!

happy happy day! We got new photos and a medical report (FINALLY!) for Juneau.

It is confirmed that she is just a tiny little peanut. At 5 weeks she weighed in at a hefty 6 lbs 9 oz. She is 21 inches long. (That's 3% for Weight, 3% for Head Circ , and 20% for Height)
Cris plotted it out on the VN growth chart we found and I think it put her in the 5%.
The rest of the medical report was pretty unexciting.
For example:
Digestion organ: Normal
Respiratory organ: Normal
Bone Moving part: Normal
Other organs: Normal
So anyway, it appears she is a healthy little gal. All blood tests were normal.
We are happy and in love with this little person.
Hopefully we'll get to see her smile in her next set of pictures!
Still no word on travel. It's unbelievable how much she has changed since the first time we saw her. Hopefully we will get to bring her home SOON!!!!


Oh, and check out the top left corner of the photo: They have her birthday listed as May 17th! We were initially told May 18th was her birthday, but often they estimate birthdays based on the date the child arrived at the orphanage. It looks like her Birth date has been changed to May 17th on her medical reports also...
How wonderful that our baby was born on our anniversary!

We are so happy for you both. Kyle and I looked at the new picture together this evening after we put our two wild ones to bed and said a silent prayer that she will be calm, sweet and obedient.(just like Kaleb and Hope, ha ha) We can't wait to hold her. I am so glad that she has such wonderful parents. I love you!
