One of Ethan’s favorite things for breakfast is Frosted Mini-Wheats. We put them in his little bowl with a little bit of milk and he gobbles them down. On his own, he has figured out how to drink the cereal milk when he’s finished. It’s really cute seeing him do it, with the bowl covering his face,.. caught it on video this morning.

If you’re a music lover and haven’t heard about Pandora Radio, you need to check it out. It’s an Internet radio station but it’s not your typical streaming music Web site. It builds a unique radio station around an artist or song that you pick and it suggests and plays other artists and songs that have similar sound qualities, including:  melody, harmony, instrumentation, rhythm, vocals, lyrics,.. with close to 400 distinct musical characteristics. It’s based on the Music Genome Project, read more details about Pandora.

I have come across  some great artists and songs that I otherwise wouldn’t have found, so definitely recommend checking it out. You create a free account, sign in, and let the musical adventure begin. Happy listening..

As promised, here are some videos from our Sanibel Island Vacation. Be sure to check out the new video player (allows you to have playlists and embed multiple videos). Be sure to scroll down the full video list and just click on any of the thumbnails below to watch the desired movie. Enjoy!

At the end of April, the Hurry family traveled back down to Sanibel Island, Florida. We were so blessed by our trip there last year and couldn’t wait to get back.  Our week was filled with much relaxation as we enjoyed the local culinary delights and hung  out at the beach. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, blue skies and sunny all week.

One of the highlights of the week was taking a cruise aboard the  Pieces of Eight pirate ship. Ethan did great. He danced, clapped, got a pirate tatoo, got hazed a bit by the resident pirates, and he even got to grab some loot from the pirate treasure chest (check out the photos below to see some pics of the adventure)
