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 174 / 23 To Go: Are they ever coming home?

Posted by: Cris

With summer approaching, sunrise has been coming earlier and earlier allowing me to enjoy these views while I get ready for work:

Today's cooking project was to make Daddy a donut





Which also obviously required eating some along the way.





The girls spent the day shopping with Grandma - the flower store and of course, Goodwill.


When I got home the girls joined me out in the garage to play and help me work on getting some more fence posts ready to paint.

Nova LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to be a helper...



Grandma had been eyeing a couple almost ripe papayas from the kitchen window so tonight I headed down the hill and out into the jungle to pick them.



The girls were super happy daddy was ready to share the donut they made for him...





As if the day wasn't full enough, Grandma headed back out after dinner with the girls to go to shopping/play (and to look for a matching outfit to wear with the girls to church on Sunday). Apparently they are having fun because it is 10 minutes until the mall closes and way past normal bedtime but they still haven't come home yet! I might be in bed before Juneau and Nova tonight!
