Silver Bells and Glitter Bugs

Inspired by the blogging of I, Mollie - I have decided to start a blog to chronicle some highlights of the kids' childhood. I'm not good at scrapbooking, and I have done an abysmal job with baby books. Hopefully I can use some spare moments to share some of the precious and not-so-precious moments of Eilidh and Calum.

I named the site Silver Bells and Glitter Bugs. Eilidh is in Kindergarten and loving it - learning so much each day. She thoughtfully turned to me one day and asked "how many silver bells are in my name?" I told her that I had no idea what she was talking about. She said, "You know...you tap it out. Ei-lidh. There must be two silver bells in my name!" (Syllables).

This morning, at the bus stop, Calum saw an empty MacDonald's bag and cup that had been thrown on the ground overnight. He pointed to it and said "Glitter bugs".
