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!

2009


The Stickley's and Matuses have made it back to Ohio (and Tennessee), and we are trying to get back into a routine. Particularly Nova and Juneau, who aren't quite sure what to do with themselves whitout doting aunties, uncles, cousins, grandparents and great-grandparents to shower them with attention.

As many of you may know, we had an amazing week together as a family, but a difficult start to our new year. Cris will be updating the blog later this week, but for now i wanted to say we are grateful for the prayers of our families and friends. We are so thankful and blessed to have such an amazing family. We love you all.

I'm so sorry to hear about Grandpa Stickley. I feel like this is an impersonal way to pass along sympathies, but I stumbled upon your blog when looking for some way to get in touch. Know that you and your family are in my prayers!
