We did a little family photo shoot a few months back in the front yard of our old house. Ethan is about 9 months here. Hard to believe, but he will be a year old in July!

We had the opportunity to spend a week down in Sanibel, Florida last month, and we had such an amazing trip. This was our first vacation with Ethan and his first time to the ocean and the beach, so some good family history in the making. We stayed at a beautiful home in Sanibel, right by Captiva, and it was great to get away from the daily grind and be together as a family here in paradise. We wanted to share a bit of our vacation experience with you through the video  we took, along with some of the highlights and stories,.. it was quite the adventure. Enjoy!

Life on the Hurry home front has been quite the adventure the past few weeks, as we are in the middle of selling and buying a new home. We’re due to close on our new home next week, so we’re very excited. Look forward to having you all over at the new place. We will send you all our new home address. Now we are in the midst of packing madness and taking care of all the details as we get ready to move. Last week, we were able to get away and take a family vacation in Sanibel, Florida, which was amazing! It was our first family vacation with Ethan and his first time to the ocean and beach. I should have a post up in the next week from our vacation with lots of video and great pics. Stay tuned!

Hard to believe, but our little man is 10 months old! He is now able to pull himself up pretty well and stand with a little balancing help. Check out this video and see him in action:

One of my favorite instruments I own is a didgeridoo I bought in Australia back in 2001, and I recently introduced Ethan (my little mate) to it, lol… Check out Ethan and Daddy on the Didg.

Check out this video of Ethan jammin’ on the Djembe with Daddy. My favorite part is around (2:15) after he gets warmed up a bit, when he throws a few double beats and starts doing the hand slide across the drum face, he’s a natural… A little percussionist in the making, training him up early.

Ethan had some quality Grandma time this past weekend, as both Grandmas were in town to celebrate Ethan’s first Easter. Steve’s Mom, Jan, lives in town and Carol, Bridget’s Mom, drove in from St. Louis for the Easter festivities. It was a great weekend, as we got to worship together on Easter and then hang out at the Muller home (longtime friends of the family), eating a nice hearty meal with honey baked ham, dying Easter eggs, watching Ethan just being fascinated with everything and being spoiled by the Grandmas with gifts and marinated in love.

This past week was Ethan’s first St. Patty’s Day and he welcomed it in style. While picking up some food at one of our favorite restaurant spots, they were passing out green glittery hats for St. Patty’s Day, so I decided to pick a few up on my way out and bring them home. Ethan had a ball playing with them and celebrating his Irish heritage.

This is one of the hardest I’ve ever seen Ethan laugh. Truly priceless.. Watch this rendition of Jumpy Jump by Mommy and Ethan.

Hot off the presses, Ethan’s 6 month pictures. They were taken by our family photographer, Brandy Cunningham. Brandy and her husband David have been dear friends of ours since 2004, and they are such a neat and talented family. We actually met them at a friend’s weddings in Bloomington, and they were the photographers for it. Since that first encounter, they have since moved to Indianapolis and it’s been such a blessing to be in community and share life with them and be spoiled by such amazing photography. If you live in the Indianapolis area, we highly recommend Brandy. She shot our engagement pictures, wedding, our family pics, and some great sessions with Ethan,..She does weddings, family shoots, children,.. You can contact her at her Web site: http://www.brandycunninghamphotography.com/ (When going to her site, check out her blog, and you can search “Ethan”. There’s a couple of great posts from her sessions with him)
