The Stouts Online

Well I have not been using this and I need to the whole point of us having this is to keep in touch with all of you that are not here with us. Things have been great. The twins are growing and Ryan is growing. Savannah and Garrett are both crawling and have been since Christmas. Garrett is the climber while Savannah is a little more careful. Their personalities are coming out more as they get older and it is so cool to see who they are becoming. Ryan is doing great, he is still in swim lessons and he is loving it. He is talking up a storm and says new phrases all the time. Chris is still working on his Bachalors and I am still home with the kids.

We are currently planning for the twins 1st birthday which is the end of next month already. I go through all my pregnancy pictures as well as their newborn pictures and looking at them now you would never know they were preemie. They are getting so big I love it. Well it is late and I am tired. We have swim lessons tomorrow and I need my sleep. I promise I will try and get this kept up with more often.

The twins are now 8 months old and Ryan will be 2.5 on the 7th. Time has been flying by and it has been super busy this year. The twins started solid food on October 31st and had their first veggie (green beans) on Thanksgiving. Garrett loved it Savannah didn’t at all. I was able to hide the veggies in her cereal and she ate it. They both are up on their hands and knees and rocking. It is a race to see who will be first to crawl. I thought they were going to crawl by Thanksgiving but I was wrong. They are moving a lot though. Either rolling or scooting backwards. It is very cute. Sitting up like big kids and they love Ryan. He is playing with them as long as they don’t try and take his toys. They are starting to and that bugs him. Oh well he will learn.

Halloween went really well Ryan was spider man, Savannah was a unicorn, and Garrett was a puppy. They were all super cute. Ryan really enjoyed trick or treating. He is still talking about trick or treating. He also enjoyed going to the pumpkin patch or as he called it the ‘pumpkin store’. Every time we drove by it he would yell pumpkin store. It is in the process of turning into a tree store so now he sees a tree and says Christmas time. I love it.

Chris and I have been very productive in our house. We have the whole down stairs painted and we are in the process of getting our tv nook built in. That only took 3.5 years. Pictures will be added on the right as well as other pictures just click in there and take a look.

I can not wait till Christmas as Ryan is so excited for all the Christmas stuff in the store. The lights in the neighborhood lights will be fun to show him as well.

Until next time,

Stephanie

So folks, here is a true independent poll. No sway, options all around, and I have no ability to change the scores. I also will not vote in them so it is truly your opinion. Let me know what you think:

Folks, a friend of mine did some really good research and wrote an awesome point paper. I hope that you take a few moments and give it a read. It’s long, but it has a lot of information that everyone should be armed with.  Thanks Steven! Here you go!:

The first questions you must answer is philosophical. Think about your answers honestly. What do you really believe? Not, “wouldn’t it be nice if..” We can repost “No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick. If you agree, please post this as your status for the rest of the day” on facebook until Kingdom Come. Life just isn’t like that. Hey, it would be great if no one ever went broke again regardless of the reason. I think it would be great if there was never another tear shed from a child’s eyes and everyone would think for themselves. “No wars should be fought, violence ever wrought, racism ever thought, or justice should be sought.” Take a break from sentiment and decide the answers to these questions yourselves.
