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 70: Goodbye Cold!!

Posted by: Cris

I will be sad to be saying goodbye to all of our wonderful family tomorrow when we head to the airport but I will NOT miss this coldness - in the last few days, each day has been colder than the previous one. As I carried Nova out of Aunt Coral's house this morning to head to Grandpa & Grandma's, as soon as we hit the back door, she said "It's cold! Hurry up and get in the van!"

The girls had been planning the whole 2.5 hour ride from Toledo to make Grandpa get the tractor out for a few laps up and down the lane. After naptime, we couldn't hold them off anymore and they kept bugging until Grandpa headed back out into the freezing cold to get the tractor out of the barn.

Juneau bundled up and waiting anxiously for the tractor...
Nova too...

Denali would have gladly jumped in too if we'd let him.
Thanks for warming up the cab of the tractor ahead of time for us Grandpa!
Working over the controls - Nova quickly found the blinkers and the horn.


Super-super-super squeeze hugs for Mammaw Nova:


Early wake-up call in the morning to head to the airport (and they're calling for a cold icy morning - pray for clear highways!) and a long travel day back to the warmth of home.
