A Happy Road: Lovey

Lovey

Anyone who knows Eleanor knows how fond she is of her lovey. A couple of weeks before Christmas we were walking through a store and Eleanor found the perfect gift for little sister, a lovey of her own. I had told myself I would not buy anything for Little A until we had a referral but I just could not pass this up! We cannot wait to give Little A her lovey!
