LOL Danny, my nephew did it almost every time he took a nap. His mom had to duct tape his diapers!

OG, I have seen several updates on them through out the years, and I think in LHJ.

I know Diane Sawyer does a report on the Dilly Sextuplets every year around their birthday.

I don't think Kate really freaked out that badly about the diaper blow out. Let's face it, it is gross when that happens. I know Alexis started crying, but she wasn't damaged by that. Kids have to learn adults aren't always happy, that is real life.

I had to laugh the other night when I watched the embarrassing and favorite moments show when Kate was really on Jon's case when they were on the interview couch and the producer said that this show might be a most embarrassing moment. I thought it to be true. At least it is on film and maybe Kate can learn from it.

I will not judge them. I agree with both of them. When Jon says he will just be silent, I agree with Kate when she says that is not communicating. When Kate says a husband who loves his wife would come help and not just stand by criticizing her for overreacting (to the ice cream at disney), I agree with her and think she has a valid point. When Jon says he is embarrassed because she is yelling in the store (toys r us) and is talking to him like he is a dog, I agree with him. And I realize the episodes shown were 1-3 years old.

I hope these two can work out these communication issues. I am happy to hear that they are trying to. I know it probably sounds like I am judging them, but I am not. I think they have a sound foundation. They are friends and they really seem like they are in love. I hope Jon is not really giving up on saying what is on his mind and I hope Kate stops correcting Jon, let him be incorrect, it is ok. There is a saying, you can be right, or you can be married. He corrects her also and he could stop that too. I like them both a lot and I like their family a lot and I think they are both really good (but not perfect) parents. For the most part, I think they are really good partners and spouses too.

really, I thought she scared poor Alexis by yelling... she kind of scared me lol j/k

I think the volume of this house would drive me crazy, most of it can't be helped because of the sheer number (and ages)of people... but the yelling makes me insane!!

For me this show is the truest depiction of a middle-class husband/wife family life regardless of the number of kids.

To critizie is fine since in essence it seems we critique in others for the flaws we see in ourselves...I think it's healthy.

For me, I love this show and think it to be honest...at least for now.

Kate not looking very nice tonight. Yelling at Jon to do something while she sits on a chair... Also bossing him around with what he could and could not wear. But he is the one that takes it...

(Thought of Jessie as she told Jon not to look at his fizz-eek so much!)

I'm surprised the little kids took to the roller coaster. They all had such a good time at the park.

NOT THE DUGGERS, BUT GIVING THEM A RUN FOR THEIR MONEY

ABBOTSFORD, B.C. -- Alexandru Ionce and his wife never planned to have 18 children in 23 years but when they welcomed little Abigail Ionce into the world, that's just what happened.

Abigail weighed in at seven pounds, 12 ounces last Tuesday, making her the 18th child for 44-year-old Livia Ionce and her husband Alexandru, 51.

The couple immigrated to Canada from Romania in 1990 and now live in Abbotsford, B.C. Their 17 other children range in age from 20 months to 23 years old. Alexandru Ionce does not know if the couple will be having more children.

"We never planned how many children to have," he said. "We just let God guide our lives, you know, because we strongly believe life comes from God and that's the reason we did not stop the life. "We let life come." The family now has 10 girls and eight boys. "We would have liked a boy to be even," he said. "We thank God all of them are healthy and happy."

He said the birth was not an overly difficult one and that mother and child are doing well.

"It's amazing. We are very happy with the newborn," he said "We love her. She is surrounded with love and joy from everyone in our family."

Alexandru Ionce works in the construction industry in the city 60 kilometres southeast of Vancouver. "Right now, I am not worried about the job. I'm going to stay beside her and help. I have to take care (of) my wife and baby."

Abigail is sleeping well, he added, waking at about 5 a.m. each day for a feeding. Only a few of the couple's children have been finicky sleepers at an early age, he said. "We have just a few of them ... two or three of them woke up during the night. Otherwise we had no problem, you know. Each three hours, they wake up, get food and go back to sleep."

One TV station suggested doing a documentary about what they suggested is the world's largest family. It's an idea that amused him, but Ionce doubts they hold any record titles. "I think we are not the largest," he said.

Canada needs more citizens; they have so much land that needs filling up.
