The longer I use the iPhone, the more I love it. Yes, love it. (Why don’t you marry it?-Because I’m already married.) A few reasons: 1) It’s built incredibly solid. At first, you carry it around like it’s a glass bubble, but the more you
My family (pictured above) just got back from a fun week in Oceanside, CA. This was Cole’s first big trip and he did great. He didn’t make a peep the whole drive there or the whole drive back. He was a little champ tagging along for a train
While we’re away on vacation, I thought I’d try something new. When I take a picture with my iPhone, it automatically gets uploaded to flickr and then lands in the sidebar of this blog. so now Grandma Susan can always know what little Cole George is up to
Are you tired of the Cole posts yet? Well, here’s another anyway. Cole is such a nice boy. Even when we lay him down to sleep he is calm and observant. Above his bed, we have a monkey mobile that we turn on to put him to sleep. Cole
For as long as I remember, I’ve been so excited to have my first son. My plan has always been to teach him baseball, guitar, prepare him for a mission and name him George. It’s tradition in my family to have the oldest son with the middle name

When I was serving as a missionary for the Mormon church, I ended each day by writing a full page in my journal. I had never been a big journal writer, but I made a promise to my uncle that I wouldn’t miss a day. Now, that 800 page
Now that we are a couple days since the birth of Cole, things have slowed down just a little. I’ve had a lot of emails asking for some photos, so here comes the obligatory newborn photo. I haven’t even unloaded my camera yet, but this one was taken
My son was born last night. Cole George Stucki came at 5:55PM and weight 8lbs 7oz. He’s nineteeen inches long and has a head full of dark hair. Candace and I are so excited, and I’m so proud of her. There will obviously be plenty more on
Since we signed up for Netflix about six months ago, I’ve seen a lot of movies that I haven’t watched for a long time. These are the movies that you never think to grab at the video store, or they just aren’t stocked because they aren’t
As we get closer and closer to the baby coming (two more weeks), it’s interesting what goes thru the mind of a soon-to-be father. Here are some of the thoughts that I’ve been having: * * I’ve never been more focused in or dedicated to my daily gym workouts.
