  When walking home from school one day, a sweet Neni, (elderly woman) yelled out to us to come into her her yard.  She grabbed this old baby stroller and very old communist doll from her garage and wanted to give it to our kids. You can see the face is a different color that the rest of it from all the cuddling it used to receive from her daughter. She was so excited to give it to Lianna and Alyssa, and the girls were so happy to receive it.  Kinda funny how the right arm was lifted up in the air...
