the Stout kids


Hello World We're Here Again

I cannot believe it has been over 2 years since I last blogged. Life is so busy and much has changed in the Stout house. The bumps and curves along the way have taught us many life lessons. There have been losses and additions, but God has made all of it good in His own special way. We have had an addition to our family since the last posting in 2008. Tony found out last year around this time that he had a 17 year old son, Joshua Tyler Combes. It has been quite the roller coaster ride of emotions. He is a great young man. It's crazy how much he is like his dad even though he did not grow up with him. Tony had no idea he existed until the phone call. It was a painful road to find out he had missed out on so much but we have determined to release the past and those that were aware so we can treasure the moments we do have. Greenside Up is doing great! God has favored Tony and the business so much. We are grateful. Avery and Ella are both in show choir and basketball @ their school. Avery is excelling as forward. She is usually the high scorer of the games. Luke is our superstar baseball player. Mackenzie is involved in show choir and drama. She has found her niche and loves it! We are very proud. She had the opportunity to sing @ the Holiday Lights opening night. It was her first time to sing the National Anthem in public and will definitely be a night she will not soon forget. Farah? Well, I'm releasing a CD in about 3 weeks, Great Expectations. So in love with the Dream Giver- Thank you Jesus!
