A Special Day

Today is Dan's 17th birthday. Obviously I am biased, but she is growing into a very fine young lady. She's smart, funny, kind, gracious, gentle and sweet, and then sometimes feisty and strong and determined. She was born on a Tuesday - which means she is "Full of grace", and she so is!

Her Dad and I have spent the day with her today - we opened pressies, had breakfast, then she had a two hour driving lesson - this went well and there were no accidents (!) Apparently she kept wanting to pat the steering wheel and tell the car "Good boy" (that's what she does with her horse!). She managd to get to second gear and only crunched the gears once!!!

This afternoon she went on a shpping trip with Dad and then tonight we have been out to dinner with Christopher and William (her brothers), and good friends Simone and Kimberley.

We have all had a lovely day - much better than the day I had exactly 17 years ago!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN XXXXXXX

  1. Happy Birthday Danielle!!

    Learning to drive is rubbish but once you have passed your test it all seems worth it.

    Once you have passed you can also borrow your mum's sports car to go out on dates in. Don't let her tell you that you can't drive it because of you age either as she used to lend me her Mercedes when I was 22. :-)
