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!

sad...

well, we found out yesterday that our travel has been delayed. We're not exactly sure why, but according to our coordinator we should plan to travel in Late Nov/Early Dec. we are of course somewhat devastated that our baby girl is getting bigger and bigger without her mom and dad. We are trying to stay positive in the face of such sad news. It's very hard to understand why these delays occur, but unfortunately international adoption is notorious for the waiting. So I guess we will be planning to be a family of 3 before Christmas.

The good news, though is that we got an updated photo. Juneau looks so much older than her picture last month! AND the poor baby lost all of that hair! It's so funny because i was just wondering the other day if she was going to keep that full head of hair until we arrived to get her, but i guess not! I still think hairbows are in her future (although cris would probably disagree).

Please be praying for us and our little baby until we can bring her home!

I think her cheeks are definately getting chubbier, and i'm seeing the beginnings of chub on her little legs.
