For Beardo Happy Birthday 30 for 30

I have known you  thirteen glorious years and
I know why Cupcake loves you!

You truly are the kindest soul I have ever met!!!

My beautiful son in law, you were a Beardo long before it 
became the fashion!  I love you like my own child!
You're comical, witty and LOVE  to have fun!

 

 You are so multi talented, adore your lovely mother, can dress up
 or down, love  to build and create things, travel, and  wear
 quirky outfits  just for fun! The middle photo, taken yesterday, 
is your last  night being 29, doing what you love!
Building a wrap around desk you designed for Cupcake
 and I to share!  Who's birthday is it again?

Brotherly love!

You love life implicitly and never fail  to say so all the time! 

Life hasn't always been easy for you, but you managed

 to find the best in life and appreciate every moment of it!

As one of ten children you know  how to share everything

 with heart!  When I see you with your siblings I know there

 is such a special bond there!  You are all so beautiful together!

Brothers and sisters!

Family fun!

You know how to find joy in giving with your very

generous and charitable heart! Facilitating a charity

  to support  the children's music therapy  program 

at Children's hospital seems to bring you so much
 joy!  I love that you requisition  artist to donate 
their time to decorate new and used instruments

to be auctioned off! It takes a lot of work and follow 
up, but you're always up to the task for this 
cause near  and dear to your heart!

The fact that you  participated the underwear affair with 

such glee, and  support  Cupcake in all her  charity

 endeavors by helping her too, makes me so proud!

Epic haircut number one! 

I remember how special it was when you had 

your very long  hair cut for charity several years
back! I always loved that hair!

 

Even though you  are a bit  timid holding newborns

I know how much you  admire and  appreciate being

able to watch  all your nieces and nephews grow up.

Over the years you have  brought so much joy to our life!

With your kindness, wit and dependability! Your love of

  music, ability to play many instruments even though you've

 never had a lesson and can't read a note is so commendable!

Such a wonderful wordsmith and musician your compositions
always leave me in awe! Your unique lyrics and sounds are a
delight.  It's a joy to watch you revel in culture. Loving   
Concerts, festivals, musicals and band shirts!

The way you enjoy all seasons is evident by the  beautiful

sincere smile on your face taking in the surroundings.

 Living in the moment  you truly know  how to soak  

up every bit of joy life has to offer!

I love that we share a love of  hotdogs. Me the ones to eat. 

You the  ones who dress  like hot dogs, well I kind of love that 
one too! We all know you are a big wiener dog lover  and
 can be found oohing and awing over them, even cuddling
 them at times!

Quite a Leo the lion with your beautiful mop of hair. You

managed to upset the  masses when you had your

second epic haircut without giving coworkers

 and clients previous notice! Don't you look young

with barely any facial hair?

 

But that's okay because even though I've always loved your long
 hair. I loved it short too!  No matter how you dress  or wear your
hair you always look cool and I am always so proud to see you
 at my daughter side!! 

We also share a love of red! And as much  I love green 
you love Kelly green more than I do! Thankfully you don't love 
those colours  together! Or that might be my nightmare! 
Since I don't do red and green together, not even at Christmas!

I love that you are such a proud Canadian but love your 
dutch heritage as well! I love how you enjoy Christmas with so 
much charity and spirit, that you love  Cardigans and
 barbequing in any season!

We share a love of coffee, and you love tea, the arts, and me! 

But more than anything, you love your wife, my

precious daughter Cupcake with all your heart . 

I am blessed to witness how you  never fail  to

let her know,  by all the wonderful 

things you say and do for her daily!

Cupcake and Beardo laugh together daily

I have had the pleasure of watching a young teen blossom into an

phenomenal, skilled, confident man! For your thirtieth Birthday today

I am listing thirty things about you  I want to preserve on my blog!

So you  can look back at  all the cool things about yourself!

And know how  I felt on this day!

 

Happy Birthday Darling boy, you have changed my
 perspective  on  men forever!I know you are only human, 
and bound to  make mistakes here and there, but I love who
 you are, and everything you are and do for my daughter!
 I am so proud of the man you have become and continue
 to be. I love your spirit and I'm never surprised at the 
wonderful things people give you because  you always
 deserve that, and much more! You have blessed my life 
over and over again!  There isn't a day goes by I don't feel so
 grateful for you! Every single day I appreciate how caring
 and loving  you are towards me. How attentive and
 generous you are with your love and time! I love how you 
tease me and how we laugh together. I love that you are 
smart and have a wonderful unique perspective on many
 things! I love how you teach me something new almost daily!

I love how you support my art and encourage me at every
turn! I love how you tolerate my silliness, my messes, and 

my quirky ways without making me feel bad! I love that you
 truly understand me, and the love I have for you and my 
daughter! I am so happy we are able to live together in 
harmony, thank you so much for that!
