Remember, editing people. It can take a situation and spin it to invoked reactions such as these. Why would more people be needed to pick up at hospital. Unnecessary drama here. I really like this family. They are not perfect, and don't admit to be. They are trying to live their lives and promote the little people's struggle.

Did you all see him talk to the school kids. He was very inspirational. I really liked when he talked about using your "resilient" muscle.

I really like LPBW a lot. I really like all the Roloff's. But man, they sure could use a maid!

I think Matt is wonderful, so inspiring and smart.
I do have to quit judging the unkept house, which is a very nice home. I just can't imagine having all that clutter around even with 4 kids. The beautiful Oregon scenery outside the windows, lovely hardwood floors, cozy fireplace.
If that were my home those kids would be picking up their belongings and helping to maintain "controlled messiness".

I agree Mara, I love Matt! I also love how beautiful Oregon looks. And the unkept house is really not all that important in the scheme of things. They are awesome parents which is way more important, but I cannot help but want to go out there and start picking up some things!

I also love how Matt lets the kids (even encourages them) to do different and fun things.

The mess in their house would drive me to drink! The boys do not do any chores that I can tell, though Molly seems to help her mom a lot. DH and I have decided that the boys are useless bumps on a log and do not seem to be learning much about responsibility. Matt teaches them how to play, but spends little or no effort teaching them anything else.

Amy also seems to lack much of a sense of humor at times, but given some of the assinine things Matt does at times - I have to give her some credit - lol!

From a different perspective -- I love seeing the messy house. Makes me feel like mine doesn't look so bad.

Last time we talked about the state of their housekeeping was when they got the new porch. I predicted that lovely porch will be all cluttered very soon and it is.

I love this family and think they are the real deal.

If they don't have the skill to keep tidy they really should hire "Merry Maids" to come in 2 times a week.

I don't think it really matters to Amy. She enjoys her family and let stuff fall where it may. She doesn't sweat the small stuff. LOL

I remember they kind of addressed the clutter in the episode where Matt arranged to have organizers come and overhaul the laundry room and pantry for mother's day. Amy was not overjoyed, but was a good sport about it. She said she just doesn't like having other people in her space and knows she has some weakness in the housekeeping area.

All the kids get involved in working the pumpkin patch. The boys are teenagers and certainly seem to resist doing much. Jeremey at least kept up after the Mole this week, whereas Zach oftern seems in a daze.

Matt has made efforts to take Zach to visit several role models who are little people to inspire him and let him know he can achieve quite a lot, but he doesn't seem all that inspired. Of course we don't know what sorts of pains he has in his legs or what he has to deal with besides having had a number of surgeries on his skeleton and operations to put shunts in his head.

Matt is very determined but has mentioned physical problems and the knowledge that he will continue to have them. I think Matt is pretty active considering, but I'm sure when it falls to him to NOT run around and to make phone calls or organize things, that is what he does.

He's also tried to talk to Jeremy about what he might want to do, does he want to go to college, but Jeremy seems rather lumplike too.

I still think Jacob is one of the cutest kids I've ever seen! I think he's adorable!

Jacob IS adorable! He's a sweet kid, too. I think Zach and Jeremy are just being typical teenage-boy lumps. I think its the age. I bet in a few years they will become more interesting. Their personalities will emerge.

Jeremy is just filling with hormones I think, so the family stuff isn't his thing right now. Zach seems to act a little depressed, and I'm sure it is hard for him. He seems to have the real soccer skills, but not the leg length to keep up with his brother.

I love this show and this family! Dad would bug me with his impulsiveness, but then again, his ideas seem to have provided his family with a nice life.

Zach has his awful leg surgery tonight. I know this was filmed months ago, I hope he is doing well by now.

And what I was actually looking for

Latest News

They are converting the peach orchard to more pumpkins and there is news about Zach, which isn't all that current.

I know Matt has been thru a lot but thought it was horrible how he turned Zach's surgery into all about his past. I sure wouldnt want to hear about saws and drills while laying on the gurney getting ready to go in. I kept waiting for him to say things are so advanced now you will have an easier time. But no he just kept talking about pain pain pain

Boy, Amy is one powerful lady.

Yeah, I cringed at that, too Lurkin. But I understand his fascination. :-)

The thing that always impresses me about Matt is how grateful he is to have those kids and how he tells them all the time how much he loves them and that they absolutely fascinate him.

And yes, Amy is one very strong woman.

My heart just was so sad for Matt the little boy in the hospital who could not even have his mom and dad with him during his numerous, painful surgeries (except on the weekends).

I know he became the guy he is today because of what he went thru, but it is sad that he did...
