FROM HONOLULU TO HANOI: 1st load of stuff is on the way

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!

1st load of stuff is on the way

On Friday we packed up our first load of stuff to go to colorado. When the military moves you they let you send a bunch of stuff by air to get there faster, and then the rest of the big furniture and everything goes later.

Goodbye Stuff....see you in Colorado

ahhhh....the cart. Nova's favorite toy in the whole wide world

sooooo cute!

we love nova's "split tooth" on the bottom

Nova's mischevious look

As you may know, Nova LOVES to pick up heavy things. Here she has two tupperware containers full of coins (they were indeed HEAVY!). She found this ice-pack wrap thing of cris, and was wearing it like a weight belt.

the ice-pack wrap thing also worked nicely as a hat

We have had a super weekend with the girls. Nova had a breakthrough with her sand issues, and on saturday she actually had FUN at the beach! So, nova is finally learning to be a beach baby 10 days before we move to the mountains!
