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!

Day 52: This Post is Sports Free

Posted by: Cris

Today the plan was to leave Toledo by 9:30 a.m. to get to Grandpa Stickley's house by lunchtime. Unfortunately, after staying up until midnight watching Toy Story 3, Nova was still out cold at 9:15. But, we eventually got on the road and made it to Grandma's.

I was starting to get worried that my pack would forget about me with all the attention they've been getting in their temporary home. However, the Husky mauling I received when I got there suggests they will still be happy to get to their new Hawaii home in a month or so.

Juneau immediately jumped out of the car and was all over Grandpa. The girls had a great time playing with Grandma Stickley and "Nova Mammaw" (as Nova calls her) and Nova went around suckering everyone with that cute little "will you read me a story?"

Tonight everyone settled in to watch "Despicable Me" - the only thing better than watching the movie is hearing Juneau pronounce "Despicable" when she's requesting to watch it.


Eventually, Juneau & Nova settled into a comfy spot on the couch (alongside Summit).

Now the girls are off to sleep and I'm finishing off the day blogging and watching an exciting Sunday night NFL game between Green Bay and the Patriots...oops, that was sports, wasn't it? Sorry Emmie...
