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!

Post-Christmas update

the blog postings have been sparse this month! We have been pretty busy running around the past few weeks.

I had a GREAT visit back in Ohio with both Cris' family and my family. I spent the first day in Toledo with the Stickley/Matus gang, and had a great time catching up with everyone.


Then over to Willard to see the Saccenti/Alford crew. Everyone was home for Christmas, and I got to visit with all the neices and nephews. It was really a great time. Next year will hopefully mean my trip will be accompanied by Cris and 2 baby girls.

That's right, i did say 2 baby girls. In case you haven't heard the news, 2008 will be bringing 2 additions to the Stickley family! Cris and I found out we are expecting a baby in May, and we are so excited that Juneau will have a sister! We were in a state of shock and slightly overwhelmed for the first couple of months, but we are now pretty much ecstatic as we are in the 5 month of pregnancy, and anxious to have both babies here by summer.

Here is a little ultrasound pic of the baby girl soon to be Nova Joelle!
