  56. Alexis Bellido said on: April 25th, 2008 at 8:05 am

    Hello Alys, and con­grat­u­la­tions Mark!

    I’ve just remembered when my Beat­riz was born seven years ago. We’re now try­ing to get a brother for her :) 

    Chil­dren are a lot of work but once they learn how to play World of War­craft and Play­sta­tion 3 games against their geek dad things start get­ting funnier :) 

    Enjoy your beau­ti­ful daugther Mark, best wishes from Lima, Peru.

  57. Andy Homan said on: April 28th, 2008 at 5:35 am
