Happy New Year Everyone!!! I know it's been A while, since before Christmas if I'm correct since our last post..phew where does time go?? Well today is a very special day as we are celebrating our 2nd Daughter Ella's 8th Birthday(speaking of where does time go....) She received a special treat by not having any school today!!! So as I reflect on how old my daughters getting and that is is already 2013 I thought this would be a good time to look at how far Beautiful Junque has come in 1 YEAR!!!
