A sad loss for the Herbs

After a long and very courageous battle with cancer, Chris's mom passed away peacefully on Friday afternoon. It's going to be so hard to be without her. She loved her family more than anything, and no matter how she was feeling, she was the one who always took care of and spoiled all of us.

We were very lucky to get to spend a week with her not long ago. She was so happy to see the babies. She fed them, held them, and played with them throughout the week. She also had a big party for all the family, and we all had a wonderful time together, eating St. Paddy's Day traditional dishes such as corned beef and cabbage.

We will miss her so much.

Love, j&c, m&t

Update from the Herbs









All's well here in AZ. I went to the doctor and everything is fine with the baby. I've posted the ultrasound picture. He or she is just a little blob--and oh, there's just one little blob, thankfully! The baby will be due October 11. I'm going back to my same doctors, so I met with Dr. Sawai who delivered Thomas. She was happy to see me back--and not surprised, because she had warned us it may happen.

Aunt Janet and Uncle Rich came to visit a few times over the last couple of weeks, so there are some cute pictures of Aunt Janet with Thomas and Uncle Rich with Matt.

Also, Chris does such a wonderful job on our yard, and it's a beautiful time of year, so I've included a couple of pictures.

Matt and Thomas had their check-up this week, and they're both doing well. Matt weighs 22 lbs, 6 oz, and is 30" tall. Thomas weighs 23 lbs, 2 oz, and is 29 1/2" tall.

That's all for now!
