I'm back with another freebie for you but first I would like to take this time to ask you all to please keep some dear friends in your thoughts. They lost their 13 year old son this weekend after a 6 year long battle with brain cancer. Nick was a sweet, sweet child who always had a smile on his face and hope in his heart. His parents, Tammy and Tim, were there for us when we lost our baby boy at 2 days old. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child after 13 years when the loss of our 2day old Daniel was so excruciating.

We love you Tim, Tammy and family.

Here is your next page in the album and remember, leave a comment for a chance to win one of 5 Maya Road 3-ring mini albums given away the day after Christmas.
