Prom night

Have you ever been to a preschool prom? The invitation said "dress to impress" so we borrowed Daddy's suit






This gave Leo the confidence to approach the girls




and run with the boys









It was, as they say, a magical night

Chicago

Before we were off to Chicago, Leo's friend Lydia, who loves to take care of him, got him to eat a whole bowl of cashews ("These are healthy for you," she kept saying.)




And we got to pet the baby chickens that Rive and Asa will be raising




What's the first thing to do when you arrive in Chicago? Get a Superdawg, of course.




Then you hit the beach with Grandma







and get some good Mexican food







And after you put in an appearance at a Linguistics conference at the University of Chicago





you play, play, play!

Party time

We went to neighbor Sophie's birthday party






We had a Seder and pulled the table all the way out! (The Elmo plates were only for dessert. There were so many courses, we had run out of dishes by that point.)





Leo jumped on the trampoline with neighbor Lily




And he got a new friend who doesn't shed, poop on the lawn, or need to be walked. He comes everywhere with us.

(Leo was a little disappointed that there were no "boats" where we went "voting")

Visits

We went to the park even though it wasn't warm enough yet




and had fries at our favorite new burger place




Then it got warm and the Smith Playground opened




Leo made a friend there










Then Mimi and Soupy came. We did body art




The flowers were out




It was still a bit cold, but we had a good time at the Cubs-Phillies game












and then we passed out






Thanks for coming!

Welcome to our new blog, The Higrents. I hope to update it a little more regularly than Leo's old page, which can still be found at www.wickedoasis.org/leoweb. In the meantime, here's the catchup on the last few months:

In January, we made bagels



We snacked




We played around town






In February, we went to Daddy's chess tournament







And toured the malls of New Jersey






Back at home we did art projects



played in the snow



and sampled some malls in Philadelphia



In March, we went to New York





sang Karaoke


and had some Easter fun

















It's been a lot of fun
