Birth Announcement

Dear Friends and Family,

Mike & Wendy are pleased to announce the birth of our first child - a son:

Name: Franklin Cushing
Date: 9/23/2006
Time: 11:04 a.m.
Weight: 8 pounds 12 ounces!
Length: 20 1/2 inches
Other details: The due date was today, but Wendy was scheduled for a C-section on Monday due to Franklin's position (breech), so when Wendy started contractions right on time, the docs decided today is the day!

Wendy and Franklin are doing fine.

Our plan for documenting our kid is to post videos as a videoblog:
http://elcolonel.blogspot.com/ is really a best of all of the videos we upload here: http://www.youtube.com/elcolonel

Right now we have a few funny videos of Otto, Niko, and Britta. We had to post some things there so that everybody could troubleshoot their computer configurations in time!

You can subscribe to the blog and/or youtube to get notice of updates.

Mike & Wendy
