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!

Bug Day!!

Posted by: Cris

Even though we celebrated it back in May so that we could share the experience with the whole family, I couldn't let today go by without recognizing this officially as our "Bug Day".
July 14, 2008 - Our Giving & Receiving Ceremony: The original Bug Day


One of my favorite pictures from our first couple days in Hanoi:



Our June-Bug 3 Years Later:

Is there anyone as lucky as Emilie and I that this amazing little girl found us from all the way across the world?



I love you Juneau!!
