Happiest birthday to the best husband and father in the world!

Hello my angel, well, you might not have noticed, but yesterday dadda turned into a granpa! Hie-hie, yes, your wonderfull father turned 30! Now I know this must sound like a gazzillion years old to you, but your dad is actually still nimble for his old age! We had such a great party planned, outside, live band, then off to a resort for braai and swimming in the heated pools, how nice! But as a wise women once told me, if you want to make God chuckle, make plans, so it went more like this..... We woke up to freak rains for this time of year, then the wind came, then the snow (or hail, whatever, it was white), then some more rain, wait...a bit of sunshine....no...more rain and wind. So needless to say we had to make a few adjustments. The party was moved from outside, to inside the wine cellar at Upper Deck. Because of the cold weather, everyone came at around 16h00, instead of 12h00, as planned, if they came at all (and I really don't blame them, it was FREAZING!). With the exeption of Megs, Conrad and Keaton who drove all the way just to wish your dad a happy birthday and drop off a gift (thanks very much guys, it was greatly appreciated!). Then...once everyone arrived and defrosted a bit, we went to the resort where we stayed over. Finally, after the rugby, the party really started. We made a BIG bonfire, had a braai, and had a good time with friends. Next morning we made breakfast to the wonderful smell of rain in the bosveld and then headed off to home. When we got back granny took your dad for a helicopter flip and dad could fly the helicopter himself!!! Uh-oh, now daddy wants to be a pilot again, opened up a whole can of worms there! He-he, but your dad enjoyed it so much, and it was wonderful hearing how exactly he managed to control that machine! Thanks a lot granny P for the gift, you could see the joy in Wes's face! Then they dropped uncle Brendon off at the airport, and granny is leaving today. I'm sure you are going to miss her very much coz for a week and a half you guys just played and played and played!

So in conclusion, Wes, the weather this weekend decided to display your extraordinary personlity. You are unique my love, one of a kind, and irreplacable. We love you dearly and we hope the next 30 years will be just as special as you are. I cannot wait for every morning with you and our little family that we are building. I love you and happy birthday.
