If you're interested in getting any of these songs, let me know and I can refer you to the album or copy the music for you.

I love Taylor Swift's "Never Grow Up". I wish, sometimes, that Jacob would stay little forever.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Sam and Ruby "This I know"...a feel good song that makes me think of my kids
