Our friends Laura and David invited Katie and me to have dinner with them at their new home tonight.  We got a tour of their home and a slinky demonstration while dinner was cooking.  Laura made chicken cacciatore--chicken braised in a tomato-based sauce with onions, garlic, and white wine.  It was my first time having that dish, and I was not disappointed.  It was delicious and seemed relatively easy to make.  Laura was kind to make a dish that was low in carbs to help me out.  I made a green salad with mushrooms and diced bell peppers to go with the meal.  

I brought peas, carrots, and chicken for Katie's dinner.  I forgot to bring her booster seat, so she was a wiggle wart throughout the meal. After we ate, Katie, Laura, and I went to our church choir practice.  The best part of the rehearsal was when Katie decided it was time to start singing.  She stood under the alter and sang at the top of her lungs with the choir.  She wasn't saying any words, but was giving the big "ah" her best.  What a delight to see her starting to "sing."  I wonder how long it will be before she can carry a tune;)
