LIAR! FALSIFIER!

Uncle Chrissy did some investigation (complete with Sherlock Homes hat and pipe) and discovered that the Chinese lady in my last post wasn't pregnant with quintuplets - the whole thing was a fraud! And I am a victim!

Evidently, she has had two previous pregnancies that have miscarried, so in an effort not to have her husband suffer through another disappointment, she concocted and then persisted in this ridiculous scam. He had no idea! Does he never feel her tummy (which she stuffed with pillows and laundry)? What kind of relationship do they have?

The poor guy even drummed up media coverage to help garner sympathy and then money to pay for the little ones. She was finally found out when a local hospital offered her a free examination.

I am ashamed that I perpetuated a lie. I am ashamed of China. I am now petitioning Beijing for redress. Is this what Communism has to offer?

Next month we may be taking in a few Chinese exchange students (highschool age kids). I will hold them accountable for this. Someone will pay.

Can't Complain

Annie and I thought we had it rough as she progressed through her third trimester with the twins. She got very large, and most strangers thought she was full term at 6 months.

But then I saw this photo.

This poor gal (in China) is carrying around at least five babies! She isn't even out of her second trimester in this photo. How in the world is she walking around? The report says that her girth has now exceeded her height. Nice stat.

Comforting Julia

Kate got pretty sick over the weekend. This sickness then made it's way to Julia, who has since had to contend with her first real sickness (beyond your typical runny nose). Here she is, looking tired and worn out. Poor girl.



















But Kate is such a wonderful sister. She must have felt some empathy for Julia, because she went out of her way a number of times to cheer her up. And it worked. It sure beat a poke in the eye, Genna ...

Right now my blog is being featured on www.BlogInSpace.com. Check it out! I am famous! It is hilarious which screen shot they took ...

The Twins's Birthday

Yep, Julia was born the day before the twins turned two, so we have three birthdays in a two day spread. June is an expensive month.

Kate and Genna were born on Father's day, at 7:38 and 7:45 in the morning. That was good day. They started out cute and have only become more beautiful as these three years have gone by.

I'll be going down to the gun store with my dad and brother to purchase a couple shotguns for any would-be suitors. I know my girls are years from dating, but I want to make sure I'm a good shot.

Julia's Birthday

Yep, one year ago little Julia was born. My how she has grown. Everyone wish her a happy birthday. Make your checks payable to me ($100 minimum).

Portraits - Beware

I probably shouldn't share these photos. My daughters are too beautiful. But, I feel compelled to, so enjoy.

The first two are Kate and Genna's three-year photos. Aren't they just little ladies? Last we have Julia, of course, with her 11-month shot. See her teeth? She has a gap between her two front upper teeth that is very endearing. We call her 'gapper' and she doesn't seem to mind. The twins still insist on being called various princess names. I guess Julia may want to be called something else once her grasp of the English language and her Disney indoctrination are more fully developed.

Birthday Cake

The twins had their official three-year birthday party this week. It was early because we wanted to give preeminence to Julia's one-year birthday party next week.

Having three birthdays within a two-day spread isn't easy. You try it!

Every birthday is special, though, so Annie celebrated the event by baking some very special cakes. Check out her handiwork.


















To make this, she removed the legs of a Barbie Cinderella doll (it was a gruesome procedure) and inserted the doll's torso into the top of a skirt-shaped cake that she made. Isn't it clever? She then dyed white frosting pink and blue and decorated the 'dress' by hand. She is quite talented, don't you think?

This Barbie doll looks more glamorous as a de-limbed, frosting-covered princess than as a her normal, ill-proportioned self.



























The twins were thrilled with it. We had them wear their own princess dresses for the occasion (the whole party was princess-themed, much to my nephews's joy).

Though it looks as though we have set the princess aflame, rest assured that it is only the candles burning. We plan on reattaching her legs at a future date. It will be touch and go for a while, but we'll keep you posted on her status.
