It was all joy in our happy
family in the blessed month of August. First it was me and my wife Stella
celebrating our second wedding anniversary on the sixth of August. Then on the
12th it was Pasha’s turn. The little girl clocked one year. What
else could we have done than engage ourselves in celebrations?
And indeed we celebrated
like nobody’s business. The celebrations began on the 6th with a
visit to new opened Hapuwani Lodge in Mulanje as seen in the pictures below:

The celebrations came to a
climax six days later on Pasha’s birthday, the 12th of August. A
double anniversary and birthday party was arranged at home. Several activities
were lined up at the party. But the most memorable event of the day came when
Pasha with the assistance of her mother cut our wedding cake for the entire
guest to partake of this treasure.
The cake which was
prepared for our wedding on 6th August 2011 was specially preserved
for this occasion. I and my wife had agreed that our first born child should
also taste our wedding cake on her/his first birthday. We were delighted to see
Pasha enjoying the wedding cake and asking for more. The cake tasted fresh
although it had stayed in the refrigerator for two years. The video clip below
shows Pasha preparing to cut the wedding cake.
Pasha received gifts from
her cousins: Gloria and Agnes and uncles Enerst, Paska and Gladson beside
other numerous gifts from her parents and several well-wishers who patronized
the wedding anniversary-cum-birthday party. The party ended with a dance as
seen from the picture below.
