the bumblebee spree } the el adly family
Posted on October 25, 2013 5 Comments
A few days ago I was watering my plants and made a nice little discovery. It wasn’t a global discovery, as glue had already been invented. But I found that with just water and tracing paper, I could easily create a physical bond between my girls and flesh-and-blood humans. I tested the first ‘prototype’ on […]

I am so excited about my girls visiting Ireland and Thailand with my friend Nelli. She’s done an amazing job of taking care of them. I don’t think she realizes how happy her photos have made me.
