We went to Jen, Andy, and Jackson's home for PEPS tonight.  They served pasta with a puttanesca sauce. It was my first time eating that sauce, and I had to ask what it was.  It's a tomato based sauce that includes garlic, onions, chili peppers, olives, capers, diced tomatoes, and oregano.  It was pretty good, although I did avoid the olives.  Those of us contributing to the rest of the meal brought a caesar salad with great croutons, bread, doughnut holes and brownies.  I feel very fortunate that we were placed in this group two years ago.  What nice, caring, and funny people to know and see regularly!

The little boys ran back and forth through the house so much that they were sweating.  For a good 20 minutes, two of them ran while holding their shirts up and yelling "belly button."  They were hilarious:)  Katie ran after the boys, but was always about a half a length behind them.  I do think she is slower than they are, but she was mainly behind because she would watch them run away from her and then start to follow.  It is a delight to see them actually playing with each other.
