Our grandson Banjo, turned 13 and we had a little celebration at home. Aunty Carol was here from Melbourne, because she took me to the eye hospital to have my second cataract done.
He was happy to become a teenager.
But best of all was the XBOX.
The next day went to see the progress of Sonya and Bernie's house renovations.
Then they took us to lunch for a delicious Italian meal.
Bill had his favourite Tiramisu. Two new cataract lenses so no glasses.
Your grandson was happy to become a teenager but he was warning other people to enter his room at their own risk. But he is an absolute sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteMost boys (and girls, I suppose but I only had sons) are gorgeous until they are 17 or 18. Only then do they drive, drink, use vulgar language and don't listen to their parents.
Everyone is looking great, and I wish I had cataracts so I no longer have to wear glasses. Maybe in time... Gosh, I remember when your grandsons were fresh baked.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Banjo! Wonderful photos of you and your family. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Banjo! A lovely celebration for you all.
ReplyDeleteAwww...13 is a wonderful age! Glad no glasses are in the forcast!

Good to see you looking so well and seeing a very happy Banjo.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to the new teenager. And good wishes for your eyes settling down after the cataract ops. Remember those eye drops!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe Banjo is now a teenager. Where have all the years' gone?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Bango and gosh Diane how time flies. Remember his parents' wedding!
ReplyDeleteThe eyes look good and it sure makes a difference to be able to see much better especially distance.
You all are looking good.
You are all looking very happy, Diane, and your grandson looks very happy with his 🎂 gift. It is wonderful to be free of glasses and you and Bill look great. Hope that you will post future updates on Sonya & Bernie's future home. Thank you for your condolences on my friend's passing. Like yourself, I am very careful about avoiding a fall and continue doing the at home assigned PT exercises.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Happy Birthday to Banjo.
ReplyDeleteHow nice to have your girls around ! And Banjo became also a teenager, like Toby. According to my son, Toby is in full puberty and that bothers his helicopter father, who had lost his "toy". Toby told me that fortunately they have a dog now, so he doesn't have to go with his father, lol ! Now he is always with friends the only thing they do together is playing Golf. Sonja's house makes progresses !
ReplyDeleteYay for the successful cataract surgeries. You look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Banjo. Great gifts for that teen.
I love a good Italian meal and those yummy desserts.

Happy birthday wishes for Banjo.
ReplyDeletePleased you were able to have your second cataract operation.
Lovely photographs of you all.
All the best Jan
Such a handsome grandson (they both are) and a milestone BD indeed. Its an amazing feeling not to have to grab for the glasses when you first wake up isnt it? Routine for me over 10 years later, but I remember.
