No discussion from last night's show?

I was so happy when Matt arrived in Iraq and found the children and their family waiting for him. I got teary-eyed when they were singing their "American" song in the van, and I'm not even American.

It sounded like the whole family has emigrated to the US to stay. That is good news for those 3 sweet children with such horrible disabilities. That trip must have been so hard on Matt. From the leaves on the trees it looked to be this past summer.

Oh, I kind of wish that TLC would keep us posted on them.

I got teary eyed several times with that episode! Very good one, though puzzling at times.

I mean.. interestng how the family was there to meet the plane.. hard to think that Matt and that whole plane went to Baghdad with no idea where to find the family.

The family is wonderful and I love the way Matt AND Amy were with them.. Amy seemed to have a super insight and provided the more comfortable option of the family sleeping on the floor if that was what they wanted and they did and I loved her talking to the mom and the cooking and all that.

I was puzzled by the total absence of ALL Roloff kids.. yse one or two were away but Amy mentioned that Molly and Jacob were asleep.. surprising they wouldn't have gotten them up to meet the family, or that they weren't around at all with the family.. that seemed so strange to me.

And the next episode is BILLED as more rough times for the relationship :-(

But it was a good ep and I loved seeing that family and Matt taking them on the tour and such.

Oh and when he rolled into the Lincoln Memorial and said he hadn't seen it in many years and read part of the inscription.. whoa.. such memories for me. I was born in DC and was there until I was four and that was my favorite place to go.. I would tell people Mr Lincoln was sleeping and to be quiet.. I've only been back once as an adult and was still very drawn to that particular memorial (though the Vietnam wall touched me deeply on that trip as well.. it is very moving).

Also was touched at how deeply the family had bonded with the military nurse who had cared for the kids.. I sure hope she gets to see that show and how the kids and adults were reacting to just hearing her voice.

Wow, Matt has stamina! That flight would have been grueling for anyone but someone with Matt's disabilities it had to be one of the more difficult flights. But I suppose the euphoria of helping that family pished Mastt through. I also hope TLC keeps us posted on their medical journey.

I was surprised the kids weren't there but it might have been a good thing. The family really needed to rest.

Matt and Amy seemed to be getting along this episode.

Well yes, they needed to rest but they were there long enough for a tour of the farm and for the mom to cook a dinner and share it and I'm just surprised that the kids who were not away from home at that time wouldn't have been involved, wanted to be involved and that Amy wouldn't have wanted them to be.. so there must have been some issue.

Not sure if Zach was one who was away from home, but it would have been neat for the three little ones to meet him and see how active he can be after surgeries and having his shunt installed.

It could even be that this happened not in the contracted time for them to be filming but Matt of course had to go with the schedule of the doctors and whoever was hosting the family and such so he and Amy just decided to go with the filming, but the kids didn't.

And of course I remember last season where they ran Matt's Iraq episode out of order too.

I haven't seen the show (I really hope they'll put all the eps on On Demand), but I did read a headline online that said the family was moving to the US.

Amy's been doing local charity work these days and I see she got Jacob involved as well.. I think that is a good thing for him and also that they did it together.

A letter to ARCF from Human Solutions Family Warming Shelter

Dear Amy, Lisa and Family,


So often our homeless families are over looked, ignored or treated as a bother. It really means a lot to have a celebrity take time to share and listen to their concerns.


After the donations are gone, the memories and the value you placed on them as you displayed tonight will still remain.


Thank you!

Blanchette

Manager of Human Solutions Warming Shelter,

Portland, Oregon

Amy Roloff, son Jacob and members of ARCF delivered food items to Human Solutions Family Warming Shelter tonight. 60 people including 16 children welcomed Amy into the facility. They were surprised and happy to see her supporting the organisation. Amy commented,
“I was humbled by the experience, there are so many in need and others that are just a pay check or two away from this same situation” ARCF made donations to two other charities today, the Edwards Center and Saint Child. Please keep sending in your donations. We want to continue to give “A little help for a BIG WORLD” Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

The episode last week with the family from Iraq was quite touching. The twins were on a school trip and Molly and Jacob were in bed < must have been a school night > when they arrived. I was brought to tears when the Iraqi children were singing "America" while in Washington,DC. When Matt pointed out the White House the response was "Obama's house ?" Yep I cried.

Yeah, I cried, for sure!! Yeah I heard Amy or Matt say that Molly and Jacob were in bed, but the people were there long enough, it seemed that you'd have thought Molly and Jacob got to meet them and would want to meet them.. just thinking there was some reason they kept it off camera, but it didn't make sense to me.

I do not recall seeing Molly or Jacob in the episode that ran last night < where they get the 2 Mercedes> although Amy makes a remark about going to pick up her daughter.Perhaps the kids who don't wish to appear are edited out at times ?Jeremy was shown and discussed,you see Josh but overall emphasis children growing up. More discussion on the Matt/Amy relationship as they move into another phase of their lives.

That's what I'm thinking.. it was some kind of negotiated down time.

I think Matt and Amy can pull off the show with them being the focus instead of the kids being the focus. But really I always thought the entire family and farm were the focus. Either way I enjoy watching so I hope it sticks around for a few more seasons...warts and all.

Now there is a show called The Little Chocolatier or something like that. I think it's also TLC, but I could be mistaken. I caught part of it the other night, and man oh man, were they both playing up to the camera! It sucked.

I saw something about it after the fact and was bummed that I missed it. Now that I read your comment, Huk, I guess I really didn't miss much.

The chocolate family is ok, but the woman is very controlling in my opinion. I don't like them the way I do the Roloffs.
