"With these blessings, I hope that it's over. I hope our bad luck has changed, and we're going to have this miracle for the rest of our lives"
(Colorado)—When it came to being parents, Chris and Susan Spiegel of Eagle, Colorado, knew mostly tragedy. They had three sons, and lost each one to different tragedies. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome claimed Scotty at the tender age of 2 months, sixteen-year-old Skylar was killed in a car accident on his way to homecoming, and three years ago, their 7-year-old, CJ, was hit by a car and killed.

"Every morning, I'd get up to go to work and I didn't know why I was doing it," lamented Chris, on the disparaging sorrow of their loss. The couple had all but given up on Christmas, not wanting to even hear the carols.
Still longing for children, however, the two decided to try parenting once more, and enlisted the aid of a surrogate mother, as Susan had been left unable to carry a child due to a previous procedure.
Months later, they found out the surrogate mother was pregnant with triplets. On Christmas Eve, Caden Scott, Shelby Sky, and Billy CJ Spiegel were born—each baby carrying the name of one of their siblings who’d gone before, as a middle name.
The couple looks ahead to better days—albeit cautiously—as Susan remarked, "With these blessings, I hope that it's over. I hope our bad luck has changed and we're going to have this miracle for the rest of our lives."
