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!

We're Home!!!

Just a quick post to say we are home from the hospital. we are so ecstatic and thrilled. Even in our fairly sleep deprived state all we can do is just stare at our little girl. We are absolutely crazy about our tiny little Nova baby. Things have been going really well so far. She is a GREAT little eater, and has been keeping her mama busy with very frequent feedings. She's had a few little periods of waking up and looking around, and especially LOVES her daddy's voice. When i came out of the shower yesterday they were just staring at eachother. It is so incredibly sweet to see Cris with his baby girl. He was pretty immediately smitten.

Cris has been busy doing the Daddy duties - basically running to the store or out to get food, making multiple trips to the car, and then back in to the hospital, then back out to the car, and changing dirty diapers. He's also mastered the art of the extremely tight burrito blanket swaddle, which Nova LOVES.

We'll post more after we catch up on some sleep (and some pictures!!)

thank you all for reading along and for the comments!!
lots of love,
the thrilled new mommy and daddy and sweet baby Nova
