I just went through the last months posts--that was some for real catching up. The kids look wonderful--the pictures you had taken and posted in the beginning of November are incredible. The babies just look awesome.
Everything just seems like it is going perfectly for you guys (well as perfectly as can be expected two little infants at home). As far as forgetting Annaleigh, that will never ever happen. I have a quick little personal question that you definitely don't need to answer if you're not up for it. I was wondering if your present Charlie and Lily as twins? Just wondering.
Meg, the triplets/twins debate is one we struggle with. We DON'T have twins; saying so seems disrespectful to Annaleigh's memory. But correcting everyone who says "twins" gets very awkward. How do you tactfully say to someone, "actually, we had a third child but she died; thanks for bringing up that pain again"? And we know that when they get older and are able to go out of the house we'll face that question every single day. So for now, we just try to avoid the topic altogether. Maybe not the most healthy way of dealing, but for now it's all we're able to handle.
I run into people a lot when I'm walking the babies around the neighbhorhood. When someone says, "Oh twins!" I just smile and say "Yes" because it's too much to explain to a stranger. However if someone asks me how many children I have or something like that, I always say "I have two babies." I never say "I have twins."
I have heard some people respond by saying "I have 2 babies and an angel" but that seems awkward, too. You guys have done so amazing through all of this. I trust that will continue and when the time is right and you have to respond, it may be hard but the words will come. You are an inspiration as individuals, as a couple, and as parents.

Keep on loving those babies, they look fantastic!
She is such a doll. It looks like she already has quite the attitude!
What a sweetie! :)
