Welcome Flash (a.k.a. Luke Bennett Golby)!

We are proud to announce the arrival of our 4th child, Luke Bennett Golby. Luke tipped the scales at 8 lbs., 10 oz. and was 21-1/4 inches long.


He also had big feet and long fingers and toes, like his dad.




Despite Kristen's last-minute push to name him Tim or Buster (in honor of the Giants win last night), we compromised on Luke (maybe he'll be a doctor) Bennett (Kristen's grandfather's middle name). I'm pretty sure the girls will still call him Flash. He's totally got the blonde hair for it.


In fact, he also came out like a flash. After having to be induced, Luke shot out like a rocket. Seriously, the delivery was fast. The doctor described it as "half a push," and that might have been excessive. I told Kristen that I only can give her credit for delivering 3 kids now, which she didn't find nearly as funny as I did. But I couldn't be more proud of her. She's amazing!




Thanks again to everyone for all your prayers. We feel really blessed, even though we might be a bit overwhelmed. As I told Kristen, when we moved from 2 to 3 kids, we switched from man-to-man to zone defense. Now that we have four kids, four and under, we can only do triage!
