Toomey family welcomes baby boy!

Something tells me this is going to be a good year for Pat Toomey.

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Pat Toomey and his wife, Kris, welcomed a new addition to the family on Tuesday.

From a Toomey for Senate press release:
Allentown – Last night, at 11:45 P.M., U.S. Senate candidate Pat Toomey's wife, Kris, gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Duncan Olin Toomey was born 2 weeks early and weighed 7 pounds, 2 ounces. Both mother and baby are doing well.

Duncan is Kris Toomey's maiden name and Olin is a family name from Kris' side.

Mr. Toomey has canceled all his campaign events for today, including two editorial boards, and will be taking a short respite from the campaign trail to spend some time with his wife and three children. Pat and Kris have two other children, Bridget, 9, and Patrick, 8.

Mr. Toomey issued the following statement: "This is a very happy and exciting time for our family. There's nothing quite like the birth of a child to focus one’s attention on what really matters most in life. Both Kris and Duncan are doing very well. Duncan is a bundle of joy, and he is already being doted upon by his brother and sister. Kris and I are very grateful for all the well wishes we've received from so many people and look forward to being back on the campaign trail soon."
