Location- Bavaria, GermanyYear 0- Ignatz Alfons Meier [24] & Valquíria Zoja (Dirix) Meier [23] welcome identical triplets Aurora Rose, Lila Jolene, & Briar Nova Meier. We will be following the life of the youngest. All three girls have their mother's black hair and darker skin & father's blue eyes. Briar doesn't start putting things in her mouth to explore them until she's nine months old, which her parents think is a blessing until they realize it's a cognitive milestone. They think she's fine, though. (Ignatz-24, Val-23, Aurora & Lila & Brair-0)Year 1- Briar gets a stuffed giraffe from her grandparents and can't let it go. She drags it around everywhere and refuses to let it out of her sight. It's very soft and cute, and Briar acts like it's her child. Valquíria enjoys watching her, but sometimes gets irritated when she throws a fit about not being able to bring it. (Ignatz-25, Val-24, Aurora & Lila & Briar-1)Year 2- Briar declares she wants to be a "book picture maker" when she grows up. She has shown artistic talent, and her parents encourage her to practice drawing more so she can be a good illustrator. (Ignatz-26, Val-25, Aurora & Lila & Briar-2)Year 3- Ignatz and Valquíria separate (physically, not legally) after a huge fight right in front of the girls. Aurora and Lila go with their mom while Briar stays because she couldn't decide before her mom left. Briar doesn't know if she'll ever see her sisters again. (Ignatz-27, Val-26, Aurora & Lila & Briar-3)Year 4- Ignatz takes Briar to the Meier family reunion. She meets a lot of cousins she never knew she had and she enjoys it. zthrough this, though, she is reminded of her sisters and mom who've left, likely never to be seen again. (Ignatz-28, Val-27, Aurora & Lila & Briar-4)Year 5- Valquíra, Aurora, and Lila have returned! Ignatz and Val get back together and are ready to start anew in their relationship. The girls are overjoyed to be together again. (Ignatz-29, Val-28, Aurora & Lila & Briar-5)

Year Zero
Ronny Heike Silver and Anush Pietronella [Thwaite] Silver just had their sixth baby, an intersex child. Ronny and Anush have had four girls and one boy, but never an intersex child, and as a conservative family, they aren't sure how to feel about it. They've decided to raise their baby as a boy, but Anush refused to have surgery done on him. They name him Sparrow Everson Silver. Sparrow looks just like his father: dirty blond hair, blue eyes, and light skin. He lives in Virginia with his siblings: Jolene Rose Silver, Ada Faith Silver, Ruby Abbeline Silver, Lillian Mavis Silver, and Maxon Eliya Silver. To celebrate his birth, a family friend gifts Sparrow a hand-sewn Lamb lovey, who is promptly named Lambchop.Ronny (35) and Anush (35) with Jolene (10), Ada (8), Ruby (7), Lillian (5), Maxon (3), and Sparrow (nb)Year One
Sparrow's a little late to trying to walk, preferring to crawl around all day. Ronny and Anush aren't worried, though. He'll learn soon enough.Ronny (36) and Anush (36) with Jolene (11), Ada (9), Ruby (8), Lillian (6), Maxon (4), and Sparrow (1)Year Two
Anush's broadening political and religious views lead Ronny and Anush to legally separate, as privately as possible. Jolene, Lillian, and Sparrow live with Anush, while Ada, Ruby, and Maxon live with Ronny. On weekends, they switch, and on Sundays they all go to church together. Sparrow doesn't really understand what's going on, but it's obvious the older kids are scared, confused, and conflicted.Ronny (37) and Anush (37) with Jolene (12), Ada (10), Ruby (9), Lillian (7), Maxon (5), and Sparrow (2)Year Three
Ronny's sister, Aunt Laci, is pregnant! Sparrow's excited to have a kid closer to his age around.Ronny (38) and Anush (38) with Jolene (13), Ada (11), Ruby (10), Lillian (8), Maxon (6), and Sparrow (3)Year Four
Anush, Jolene, Lillian, and Sparrow move to a new house. They're excited: the new house is much bigger, with a nice backyard.
