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!

i was tempted not to post anything tonight, mainly because i don't have much to write about. Life is just chuggin' along. The weather has been getting much nicer. we have been in the 40's and 50's this week, which is sooooo nice.
I got out of work a little early last week, and we barely squeaked in a quick trip to the zoo. When we openened up the back of the van, and Juneau saw the wagon, she LITERALLY squealed with delight! It was sooooo cute. I guess that is the good thing about cold weather, it makes you really appreciate when the mercury hits 50 degrees!
anyway, we fed the giraffes, and took a quick spin through the monkey house, and enjoyed a bright, sunny, colorado day.

i had a loooong looong weekend at work. yuck. fortunatley, those are few and far between (as opposed to residency!) then, monday was a fabulous day off. If you are a facebooker you will know that Juneau's plan for our day was to "play all day with mommy, read books, play with blocks, tell stories, and sing". We were able to accomplish all of Juneau's goals for the day :) We even finally made it to the Library for the girls first "toddler time". the girls LOVED it. Juneau's oldest child, slightly bossy side is starting to show :) she wanted to stand right next to the teacher, and was the most enthusiastic singer and jumper and dancer in the group. Nova was her usual, more reserved self. she still enjoyed the songs, but did her little baby version of "itsy bitsy spider", and sang in her little baby voice.

guess that's about all the extent of the recent excitement in the Stickley household....

Thanks for your comment on my post. Wish you'd been there to laugh along with us!

Sorry to hear you are deploying--what in the world are they going to do with you if you guys are not supposed to be delivering kiddos? Don't tell me--General Practitioner like our friend the gastroenterologist. UGH!
