It all started 1 year and 8 months ago.... July 21, 2008.
We come to visit a friend who is a pedodontist in Prescott. He mentions his neighborhood in nearby P.V. and we drive over to take a look. As we're leaving the neighborhood, we see this....
Then this... I like to think of this moment as "when we saw the sign." Both literally and figuratively.
The only reason we notice this sign is because as we were driving by... these walls are being raised.
We sit in parking lot and give that Robert guy a call.
And that is the beginning of our story.
About a month later -- August 16, 2008 -- Craig and friends fly back again to check things out. I stay at home in Philly as I am moments away (okay 2 weeks) from giving birth to Craig, Jr.
Craig is very happy about all of this.
Tractor, anyone?
Look! No glass!
Now, which suite do we want???
3 1/2 months later --November 8, 2008 -- we come again for another visit. Isaac's first time seeing it out of the womb. Look a little different?
Aw, let's all take a minute to adore the chubby little guy.
Almost a year ago -- May 1, 2009 -- we come for another visit. This is a month before we drive up in our Penske.
January 19, 2010 -- A couple weeks after construction begins.
January 20, 2010 -- Walls starting to go up.
January 22, 2010 -- Framing is really moving along. Grandpa and Grandma Howden come and check things out.
January 31, 2010 -- Have I mentioned that Isaac LOVES this place?
March 7, 2010 -- Painting

Wow, great update Christina!! that's fantastic to see the building getting finished. It's so fun at this point to see everything painted and coming together. It's a beautiful office! Kinda reminds me of the one Dan is in right now...same colors, the stone, all nice and new. When do you expect to open? Good luck with it all! I know there is so much involved with setting up a practice from scratch.
looking good. I'm trying to convince my workaholic husband, the dentists brother, to come down in May for the grand opening.
I *love* it! I love seeing bits of your life. You are *missed* here in PA!! Awesome office. I'd send my kids there, fo' sho'. And "Bro. Howden sure would be proud of your sparkly teeth" still gets Allison to let me brush her teeth!!!
