Happy New Year - It's 2006!

Greetings from the Stout house here in Des Moines. We are all finally glad to be back in the "routine" of our life- almost. Tim is back to work at Beneficial and loving it! He is heading to Nashville for some training courses in a couple of weeks and he is thrilled about that! I am loving the steady income and wonderful benefits! What a blessing to FINALLY have health, dental AND VISION for a a VERY LOW amount per month! The girls and I are taking it easy- Maddie back to school on Friday and Bible Study kicks off next Tuesday. I am also back to private tutoring every Monday and hopefully picking up one sub day a week. Every little bit helps, right???

We had a wonderful holiday season. It was great to get so much quality time with all of our family!!!! Zakery is quite the handsome gentleman and Evan is so inquisitive and Sydnie is just so calm and precious! Madison and Morgan do miss their cousins soooooo much! It was great to see my parents and my siblings and Tim's siblings- we are sooooo blessed.

New Year's Eve we went to Godfather's Pizza as a family for dinner, came home and watched a movie and the girls went to bed. Tim and I stayed up until 11:00 (toasted the New Year w/ New York and Dick Clark) and then we were off to bed! (church at 8:30 on Sunday) I am hoping that maybe next year we will be able to go out or have friends over or something. This year with all of the family stuff and traveling it snuck up on us!

New Year's resolutions????? Of course along with the rest of the country I want to exercise more & eat better. Tim and I are actually working through our famil goals, etc...we'll let you know more once we get them together!

May God's richest blessing reign upon all you read this blog!
God Bless,
The Stout family
