The Cartmell Family

Benjamin Eugene Cartmell was born on the 21st of March, 2009 at 6:06 AM at an amazing eight pounds and 13 ounces and 20.5 inches. Mom and Baby are both doing very well, and Dad is extremely proud of Mom for handling the past few days with strength, patience, and humor and of Baby for being a cute little bastard!

I suppose that we’ve neglected to mention that we picked a name for our son: Benjamin Eugene Cartmell.

The first two photos are thumbnail only. Not sure why, they were taken with the old digital camera that tended to do strange things from time to time.

These images are intentionally surprisingly large when you click on them; there’s a lot of interesting detail and we didn’t have the heart to crop them.

Yes, this is almost two years after the fact. Look, we’re Cartmells; this is just how we roll. =)

Okay, it’s not a custom job but it looks way the heck better than anything I could have come up with and it continues the traditional inexplicable Asian theme from our wedding. *shrug*

… How much phat thai do I have to eat to become an honorary Asian?

So, we acquired CartmellFamily.com to post photos and whatnot. We’re going to have a lot of Potato-related thingses to share in the near future! I’m going to replace this generic theme with something a little more personalized while you enjoy a few photos from our wedding.

Come back soon; I’m certain that Denise will be posting baby images once she figures out how to log in.
