I am a card carrying member of the "Thanksgiving first, then Christmas" club. We always wait until after Thanksgiving to pull out the Christmas decorations. As we transitioned to remote learning, Emma forewarned us that we might come home one day to find she's decorated. Sure enough, on Tuesday afternoon we got this picture:
Here are a few highlights of the past month...
Camden has added some new shoes to his Iowa Football watching attire, thanks to Aunt Jessi!
Melissa and I were thrilled to rock our voting shirts on Election Day. 
Camden was named NJROTC Junior Cadet of the Month for October
A little afternoon soccer and golf practice in the backyard
Unfortunately, the COVID cases keep rising in Italy and we had to make the transition to remote learning on November 12. I am missing these desks filled with students! 
We went into a major lockdown in the region of Campania on the 15th. The day before (while the guys were golfing), Melissa, Emma, and I headed out to Monte di Procida for an afternoon of fun and laughs with the Camilleri-Leigh girls
Emma was a terrific TikTok director and our dance was a huge hit!
I decided to take a much needed Mental Health Day on Friday (during a professional development day) and tagged along with Chris and Camden to Carney Park. I walked the front 9 and snapped some pictures. Many times I was hiding behind trees trying to keep out of they way!
Happy Halloween!
Emma and Gabs made the Naples Middle High School Instagram page with their US Women's Soccer team costume at school on Wednesday
