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!

It's a match!

On wednesday we got some great news from Vietnam! We wanted to wait a few days before posting to be sure that everything was ok, but we now are excited to announce our NEW REFERRAL!
Our agency director is in vietnam, and has a beautiful baby girl waiting for us at a small orphanage in the Quang Nam Province. Here are some details!

Vietnamese Name: Nguyen Thanh Thi Nga (she is called Baby Nga by her nannies)
New Name: Juneau Iris Stickley (of course!)
Birthday: September 21, 2007
Healthy!
Waiting for us at the Tam Ky Baby Orphanage in the Quang Nam Province of Vietnam

We are told that travel is anticipated somewhere between Apr and June (just about the time we expect little miss Nova to make her appearance!)

And, of course, here is our first glimpse of our beautiful baby girl (strange digital picture frame courtesy of the orphanage photographer in vietnam!):
