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 190 / 7 To Go: Our last Friday night outing

Posted by: Cris

In a mere 31 hours, Emilie should be in Georgia. If only it was a mere 31 hours for us to see her as well...but, a week from tonight we will all be together so that's pretty good.

Apparently the best way to watch a movie:


Yesterday took it's toll on the girls and for the first time since I can remember, they slept for over 3 hours at nap time today.


Even so, at dinner tonight, Nova could barely keep her eyes open.



Alyssa's dad rejoined the group tonight after several weeks on TDY in Arizona (or maybe it was in Pakistan killing bin Laden...we're not sure...Tim thinks that's also probably what Emilie was doing last Sunday).



Juneau and Aunt Beth were having quite the conversation about something down at there end of the table.


Melody has kept a photographic record over time of how much more quickly she is growing than this statue...



By this time, Nova decided she was too tired to walk over and participate in this picture.

By special request...the picture that Melody asked her dad to send to Uncle Cris so he could put it on the blog :)

This was our last Friday night outing with the group. Who knows when Juneau and Nova will be back for Friday night fun...Goodbye's for quite awhile to Alyssa...





We will miss our Friday nights with Melody, Alyssa and the gang and we can't wait until all four of us are back in Hawaii for Friday night fun (I have to prove to April and John that Emilie actually exists).
