Candace Has A Blog Too
For those that might be interested, my wife Candace recently started a blog too. It can be found at CandaceStucki.com. She writes updates on our nearly formed baby and just beams her overall goodness.
Speaking of the baby, it would be impossible to describe how excited I’m getting. We have about seven more weeks and it seems like forever. I’ve always thought that the bond between a father and a son is second only to the relationship of a husband and a wife. That male bond has always held a very, very special place in my heart.
Forty years ago, Boyd K. Packer informed:
A boy is not born to know that his father loves him. He must be told and shown and shown and told a thousand times or more. A father must be wise and patient, but most of all he must be consistent, and his expectations must be reasonable.
I can’t wait!

About Me
My name is Brian Stucki. I live in Las Vegas with my wife Candace and my sons Cole and Will. Other interests include my company, my religion, sports, and learning about history.
Feel free to contact me.
I also read that whenever you have to discipline a child the father must work 2x as hard immediately following to show the child that you love them.
I have sooo much fun coming home from work and being able to play and wrestle and run around the house. you’re gonna LOVE it.

Your exclamtion point at the end made smile! I think that is the first I have seen it in your writings. I know without a doubt in my mind you are going to be an amazing Dad. (These 7 weeks may seem forever to you, but they mean forever x forever to Candace. Of course that doesn’t make sense, but you get my point).
Candace went to pick up the “official baby blanket” yesterday. (Buford, Jr.) It was a gift from aunt Rachel.
Post a picture of the “official baby blanket!” In the Stucki family, it’s almost as important as a christening would be.
Just stumbled upon your blog via a list of Mormon bloggers. Your photography is amazing, and I enjoy the topics of your posts.
Great quotation by Boyd K. Packer. “Wise” and “Patient” are two of the most important traits in Fatherhood. Think of God as our Father. What traits come to mind first? Certainly wise and patient would be among anyone’s top ten. Along with loving, understanding, and merciful. Disciplinarian? I don’t think that would be in anyone’s top ten descriptors of God (At least not anyone with a similar worldview as mine). Too often we focus on discipline at the expense of love. As parents, we understand that the two are not mutually exclusive; but, children don’t see it that way. For this reason we must be extremely careful.
Your post has helped me re-commit to be a wise and loving father. Fathers should feel the excitement of their children (like you express) constantly–and not just when they are newborns. More importantly, they should also remember the sacredness of this stewardship.
Aaron, thanks for dropping in and the compliments on the photography.
It sounds like you have some lucky kids.
Brian,
We are so excited for you and Candace. Every now and then I blog drop in on you and read a few of you blurbs which I really enjoy but this one really touched me. I look forward to reading more and seeing some pics of the little guy…
Yeah be a good father!
