		<description>Hello, I came across your page while looking for information via google. Sir Julius Sladden was my Father-in-law&#039;s father. (My husband&#039;s grandfather). Sir Julius&#039; son John Cyril Sladden passed away this morning, aged 90. Best wishes form Sladden&#039;s in Nottingham, England. (My inlaws are in Scotland, previously from Badsey).</description>

		<description>This is really random.  I was looking for a domain for our family (We are Mark and Mandy as well) and came across your website.  Very nice.  But I happen to notice the page marked shade structure.  I would like to do a similar thing in our back yard.  My question is did you design this yourself, or was it a package you purchased that came with all the necessary materials.  Was there a span limitation.  By this I mean, is there a little on how wide it could be?  Just curious.  

Thanks

Mark Stenberg

ps.  Nice stamped patio by the way.  Our company does those in Iowa.</description>

		<description>Very cute.  Maybe in a few years they&#039;ll be ready to date one of my three grandsons, who are now 13, 6 and 4.  Do your girls have a trust fund already established?  If not, then my grandsons are not interested.

		<description>Such adorable photos of the two of them. My favorites: the leaping into the pool where Elsie&#039;s legs are straight like a froggie, Pam&#039;s favorite snuggly one, and the superhero one. Love how beautiful and strawberry-blonde/red Elsie&#039;s hair is becoming...</description>

		<description>Elsie in a two-piece suit...what happened Daddy? Our little girl is growing up. I love the shots of the two kids snuggling; what great friends and what wonderful memories. Looks like a week in paradise. Miss you all!

		<description>That is really adorable - Mandy your voice over is the best part.  I know that feeling from watching Fi for the first time too - but my voice was much more nervous then yours.   Very cute and sweet and all of that...  Congrats E!</description>

		<description>Genius!! I love Mandy&#039;s excited voice-over--best part. That and how much Elsie is concentrating--her little face watching Mandy intently while her wee legs, slightly pronated, just keep circling almost by themselves. Go Elsie!</description>

		<description>Usually the work &quot;overachievement&quot; does not need a modifier because, by definition, it means &quot;better than expected performance&quot; but in this case, I&#039;m going to throw one in there and call this extreme overachievement! Holy Cow! Well done Elsie Lane!!!!  Looks like Scott&#039;s research on the Strider bike was right.  Now if we can only get Mandy to believe Mark&#039;s research on New York City&#039;s crime rate....Love you guys!  We are so psyched for E.  What an accomplishment.</description>

That dinner setting looks perfect--especially with the heat hanging over the bay.
