All families have their traditions.  In my family, catching your first fish is paramount to driving your first time or going to prom.  My dad has been itching to take him out and bought him his first fishing pole for his 5th birthday.  { Big boy little } has been practicing in the front yard for weeks, playing in his tackle box and preparing for the day when he becomes one of the guys.  

The lake was muddy from all the rain and the overcast sky reminded us that more rain was to come.  But in Ohio, you either let the rain keep you in, or you take your chances and get out to do things.  

He waited patiently for a bite, as we were also mildly entertained by the raccoon that either wanted to befriend us, or eat our catch.  Probably the latter.  There were 2 fish caught tonight, and the second was all {big boy little}.  He yanked the line and started reeling with excitement.  It could not have been more perfect, with his daddy and his pawpaw at his side.

Sprinklers, playgrounds and all the little moments in our day to day lives.  Taking photos everyday has been such an amazing journey.  5 months down, 7 to go.   http://moriahiceblog.weebly.com/

It may be a bit more quiet in the Little's corner of my page, but that is because there is daily action on my personal project page.  Take a peek when you get some time!  

My 365 Photo Project

This is what 1.5 looks like.  Giggles, grins and even some moments with that pensive serious look in his eyes.  Our own little session to capture my rapidly growing little boy.  

Although { My Littles } blog has been quiet lately, there has been so much going on in my 365 project.  I am loving it and hope you check it out when you have a minute.  
The boys spent some time on the Wii today and { baby little } had a chance to join in :)

We have known for years that the Petiti's Santa is the best there is!  Not only does he have a perfect snow white, real beard...he is just lovely and makes the experience special for the kids he meets.  Petiti's is also beautiful this time of year.  Beautifully decorated trees, little houses, a talking tree ... just a perfect backdrop to a great experience.  Just this year I happened to notice that the first day that Santa comes, he rides in on a firetruck.  How perfect!  My biggest {Little} loved the experience!  The baby...well, he only likes Santa from a distance.  Such a cool experience.  Put it on your list for next year.
