Six Miracles for Christmas

May 19, 2004 on CBS at 10:00 PM

Summary

Mother Nature dealt Joe and Erin Perry of Pittsburgh, Pa., an unbelievable hand: a full house, with six babies -- all at once. And if you think six babies look hard to handle, try adding a 4-year-old brother to the mix. "I miss the days when I was ... (more)by myself," says big brother Parker, who brings the Perry jackpot to seven. I say to people now, 'I have seven children. Seven children! I have seven children. Thirty-three years old, I have seven children," says Joe. "We're too young to have that many kids," adds Erin. The six-pack includes the first born, Ian, who gets into everything. Next in line is Simon, who looks most like his father. Then there's Olivia, nicknamed "The Queen," followed by Zoe, who's happy and calm, and Josh, who's very laid back. And finally, Madison, whom Erin describes as "10 pounds of demand." Correspondent Peter Van Sant spent a year with the Perry Sextuplets in this 48 Hours report.
