The Catanzaro Family: November (finally)

After our exciting trip to New York things just got crazier in our household. We were only home a few days when Jacob broke his arm. Aunt Brandie and Uncle Sean were quite relieved it didn't happen while they were in charge! It was one of those freak accidents that you never imagine happening. Jacob was jumping over Michael's legs, as he lay on the carpet, and he tripped and fell landing on his arm. He ended up breaking both bones right in between his wrist and elbow. It was a horrible sight to see and we ended up heading to the hospital in an ambulance. Jacob was amazing and visited with everybody right up until they put him out in order to set the bones. He ended up having the cast removed on December 22nd and you'd never know that it was ever broken.

November was also a time to celebrate Thanksgiving. This was Jacob's first school performance and he did a great job as a pilgrim. He learned some fun songs and even did some dancing. We were thankful to find some time to visit with our good friends, the Orlandos! They were in transition, relocating from the Republic of Georgia to their new home in Costa Rica, and were able to squeeze in a visit on their hectic travel schedule. They came to Jacob's performance and then we all enjoyed lunch together and had time to catch up. After lunch it was good-bye to the Orlandos and home to prepare for our Thanksgiving. We celebrated the day with our combined families and cooked dinner for 20! I guess we were too busy cooking because I don't have any pictures of our celebration. More November news to come.....
