Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I was confused for a second - then I remembered that there's two of them. Then it seemed correct to me.

Of course you did, Steph.
Although, it makes me laugh when my cousin (who has a plural-sounding last name, too) sends emails like "The Edwardseseses's new address!"

It's totally correct!
