Dearest Poppy and Amelie,
Welcome to the world baby girls. You were born to your Mommy and Daddy yesterday here in New York City. That makes you genuine New Yorkers. Not like me, or your parents who came here from the Pacific Northwest. If you live here long enough, you will get to discover things like playing on the lawn in Central Park and maybe riding on a ferry boat that sails past Lady Liberty- the most beautiful woman in New York (I think). New York will be your third parent and she will care for you, if you let her.
The world today is 2011 is a complex place. I know your parents are going to raise you well and teach you to love with your whole heart and to find beauty in laughing every day. Girls, your parents are an amazing couple and I know they will give you all the love in the world. Your mama is going to sing to you all the time. She will show you what it means to be graceful, humble, and true. Your father will love you in a way only shared by fathers and daughters. He will teach you to adventure, to explore, and to cultivate your silly side. He loves your mama very much and loves you but try not to overwhelm him, you three girls.
You have so many people who already love you and I personally am so excited to watch your adventure begin. Welcome home, babies.
Love,
Meredith
