It's a boy!

Yesterday (July 27th) at 3:46 AM my wife gave birth to our third child, Elliot. He weighed 8 pounds, 4 ounces and was 20 and 1/2 inches long. He's healthy, squeaky and grunty. He has semi-dark hair and is the first of our three kids that actually looks like me. He has blue eyes which is rather odd because my eyes are greenish-brownish (hazel) and my wife's eyes are brown. I know his eyes could change color but my mom has blue eyes so who knows. My oldest two kids, Bobby (seven) and Mary (four) are in love with their new sibling and want to hold him all day.

It feels so good to hold my new son. It's a special feeling that's hard to explain. I am very grateful that he is here and a part of our family.
