The Flannery Blog: SpongeBob Birthday with Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Dave

Destin - Nancy's Birthday
Originally uploaded by stuflannery

What a whirlwind of a week. The week started with Cohen getting sick and Stu and I taking turns staying home with him. He went to the doctor on Tuesday...and back to the doctor on Friday...where he ended up having a double ear infection, bacterial conjunctivitis, and an unknown viral virus which is now believed to have been German Measles. Mama didn't get much sleep the past few days.

We found out Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Dave were going to be in Destin this weekend and since it is only 5 hours from New Orleans we wanted to visit them, but with Cohen being sick we weren't sure if his pediatrician would give us the go ahead. We found out late Friday afternoon that we could venture over to Destin.

After the call from the pediatrician we packed up the SUV and left early saturday morning for Florida. Grandma Nancy's Birthday is the 18th of this month so we thought it would be nice to have a party with her while we visited...so we brought a cake and some party hats.

Drinking a C.I.P at Cheeseburger in Paradise. We had our first C.I.P. when we were here just this past June and we were anxious to get another one. This is the best drink....it's like drinking candy!!

Grandpa Dave and Cohen at Cheeseburger in Paradise. Cohen's chewing on a coaster G-MA Nancy gave him. He took a big bite out of it before we made him give it up. For being as sick as he was...Cohen was still a lot of fun on the trip. He's a little trooper.

Party Time!!! I took Cohen to Walmart with me to pick out a cake and some party favors for G-MA. I held up princess hats and SpongeBob hats...he grabbed onto SpongeBob so that's what we partied in. Cohen even drew in G-MA's birthday card....then he tried to eat it.

Grandma Nancy reading her 8:18 card. Stu said for as long as he can remember...whenever G-MA saw the time 8:18 on a clock she would point out that was her birthday numbers...so when Stu saw this card he knew he'd write 8:18 on it.
