Hello friends and family!!
Since I am not blogging for my classroom this year, I thought it would be fun to start a blog for our new little family and the many adventures we are experiencing! We hope you enjoy our updates!
So what has been happening with the Prichards? Well, we just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. Already! Time sure has flown. In keeping to our "5 year plan" for starting a family, we had our first little one, Trace Owen Prichard, 10 days after our anniversary :-). He was 6 lbs 10 oz and 18 inches long. Such a peanut! He has been an absolute joy and we are loving watching him grow and change.
We are also starting our building project! As many of you know, we have a barn in our back yard that is an unfinished "shell" of a house. We finally received permission from the zoning board (after 9 months of paperwork and meetings) to actually make the building into a second house on the property! Yahoo!!! So the building has begun! Hugh took a month of paternity leave to take care of Trace and I, and also to work on the barn. We were also so blessed to have both our dads take time off to work with him. So far we have almost completed all the electrical on the first 2 floors, and have framed in the entrance from the garage, the rooms on the second floor, and moved an existing door to make more room in the kitchen. After much dreaming, it is wonderful to see physical progress. The next step is to work on getting utilities to the building and to go before the zoning board yet again for approval to dormer the back roof.
Well, that's all for now! There will be many pictures of both the babe and house to come, so stay tuned! We love you all!
So glad you started a blog. :) I'm an avid blogger and it's a lot of fun! Your little guy is so adorable! Are you taking the year off from teaching? I'm going to be working only a few hours a week teaching art lessons, so we should hang out sometime with our babes. Keep in touch!
