a new year started off right

We here at jayhess.com hope you had a wonderful new year!  We ended the new year and started it the best way we know how.  Charlotte spent the last day of 2011 in a vintage Cincinnati Bengals shirt that use to be Jay’s when he was a kid.  We had a relaxing day playing with Charlotte, cleaning up the house and working on our blog makeover.  We were all in bed and asleep by 9:30, we are such partiers!  The next day we had some of our favorite people over for a New Years Day brunch.  The house was full of great people, yummy food and the backyard was alive with the shrieks and shrills of kids...just the way we like it!

Some of our projects for the year of 2012 are well underway, as you can see one is already complete: the makeover of jayhess.com!  Jay has really been putting in some hours the past couple of days trying to convert and update everything.  I hope everyone likes it!  We think it is real purty! (southern accent used there)

Jay has some great time off, as this is his slow season.  So, he is getting to spend some very valuable quality time with Charlotte before he gets crazy busy in the spring.  I have some major birthdays on my mind and I am already planning and scheming away.  Jay turns 30 at the end of February and crazy enough C turns one in March.  Of course, there is going to be some major crafting, planning and at least one quilt that comes about!  Charlotte has just recently (Dec. 31st) learned to crawl and so nothing in the house is safe, especially the dogs!  As the new year comes about we have eagerly welcomed it and are charging full steam ahead!  I know that this year will be filled with as many fun memories as 2011.
