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 into single digits!


7 days from today our little family will finally be together!

things are pretty quiet on the Hawaii blogger end, so i will try to keep you at least mildly entertained for my end of things. i think life has gotten pretty busy with Cris being back home with juneau, and starting back teaching at UH. Thank goodness Grandma Stickley is there to help out with the june-bug while her daddy starts back to work.
Juneau is doing very well. Cris said she has adjusted into quite the happy little girl. She's had a few rough days struggling with some very itchy eczema. they saw the dr. last week and he gave her some cortisone cream which seems to be working well.
Nova had a busy weekend! The whole stickley and matus gang made the long trek to grand rapids over the weekend. Nova was of course spoiled by Great-Grandma Nova and Great-Grandpa. I was so happy to see Grandpa Stickley who had just left June-Bug in Hawaii and had a big hug to deliver.
The next day the Aunties (Aunt Sheila and Aunt Cheryl) made the long drive to Grand Rapids. We had a great time exploring the city.

This was one of many great days during the 6 weeks that I was granny nanny to Nova. My sisters came almost 1,000 miles to see Em and Nova, which was more doable than the trip to Hawaii. All of us are waiting and longing to meet our little Juneau. We already love her so much.
