Mommy and Daddy had a night out!  Their very good friend Lisa's parents threw an Open house like they do every year and this year, we made it a point to go and see everyone!  Chloe stayed overnight at the elder Schlack's residence and Mommy and Daddy made a night out of it!  It was so nice to see everyone and catch up and have lots of laughs!  Mommy even managed to stay awake until after 1:00 AM, which is a miracle these days since she is usually asleep with Chloe by 9:00 PM!  LOL

Last weekend, we had our Moms Group Holiday party and what a party it was!  All of our friends were there and we did crafts and ate lots of food and even Santa and Mrs. Claus came by for a visit with a special treat for all of the kids!  You must check out the pictures from this as it truly was a special day for all!

Saturday we went with our buddies Eddie and Ms. Geri to see Santa arrive in a helicopter at the American Helicopter Museum.  It was lots of fun as we got to see and sit in many different types of helicopters and then watch as Santa Claus flew in on a helicopter.  It was a little cold, but well worth it to see the smiles on both of thier little faces.  We then patiently waited for our turn to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what we wanted for Christmas.  Both Chloe and Eddie were so well behaved!  You can see more pictures from this here!

The difference between her reaction this year vs. last year was amazing!  She walked right up to him, sat on his lap and talked to him right away.  "Hi Santa!"  and he said "What's your name" and she said "Chloe Schlack" and then he asked her if she was good and she said "Nice" since we have been telling her that Santa only comes if she's nice, not naughty!  LOL  She loved talking to him and told him right away what she wanted for Christmas ... they grow up so fast!!!

Our Thanksgiving started out the weekend before when we went to visit Papa and Nana.  Chloe had lots of fun playing, while Mommy slept most of the weekend and Daddy got some work done.  We also made some cookies with Papa.  There are pictures from the weekend in our Photo Album.

Thanksgiving morning, we headed to Mom-Mom and Bills for a yummy breakfast (Santa shaped french toast for Chloe~ very creative, Mom-Mom).  Then, Mom-Mom painted Chloes nails for the big day.  There are pictures of that, too!

Finally, we headed to Beez & Pops for a scrumptious Thanksgiving dinner!  Mommy crashed on the couch while Daddy did some shopping online and Chloe drove everyone crazy running around the house all day!  :)

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

This year, we have decided to be Christmas Angels again.
Emily is only a few months younger than Chloe and was officially diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma on May 20th of 2004, just weeks after her first birthday. She is receiving all of her care through Texas Children’s Hospital and the cancer center located in Houston and the local office in McAllen. She has undergone about 42 weeks of treatment including chemo and radiation. To read more about Emily and her fight and to leave her a message go to Emily's Fight.
 
We will be sending Emily a package two weeks before Christmas as they will be in Walt Disney World for the Holidays. If you would like to send her a card or a gift, please have it to us by then and we will incude it in the package.

We will also be sending a package to Jacob Courtney, who was last years Warrior.  To read about Jacob's story, go to Jacob's Journey.
 
Again, we will be sending a package a week or two before Christmas to Jacob and his family.  If you would like to send a card or gift, please have it to us by then adn we will include it in the package.

Since Aunt Monica was here, we went to Beez's for dinner Saturday night.  While we were there, Aunt Nay Nay and Lolita were getting ready for a Halloween party.  Check out some of the great pictures of that and our visit to Hooters in our Fall 2005 Photo Album.

Check out our pictures from Storybook Land in our 'Fall 2005 ~ Storybook Land' Photo Album.

Next Sunday, we are taking Chloe to Sesame Place Halloween Spooktakular. This was lots of fun last year, and she has been asking to go back since we took her in the summer. Check back for those pictures the following week.

Every year, the kids at school get dressed up and parade around the building.  This year, they are even supplying pizza for the kids for dinner so that they can go trick-or-treating right away!  Last year Chloe was the cutest bee ever.  Wait until you see her this year!!!

We have a Holloween party to go to at Miss Chrissy's house and then we are all going trick-or-treating around her neighborhood.  Chloe will love hanging out with all her friends this year!

Last week was the first official week of potty training at school.  She did an awesome job.  However, after several accidents at home, I think we have decided to limit the time in panties while she is at home.  We believe that she is still not quite ready for the full fledge training at home.  She doesn't quite understand the concept yet and we have decided not to rush her.  We will keep you posted though!

After a very long off-season, our Philadelphia Flyers are back!  Daddy could not be happier and we already have a little cheerleader at home to help root them on.  Chloe is so cute when she says "Let's Go Flyers!"

That's right, on Sunday October 9, we have been married 6 years!  I know it's hard to believe and I'll bet none of you had 6 years plus 1 1/2 kids on the pool!  We went out to dinner on Saturday night to Mommy's favorite restaurant ... The Melting Pot!  Yummy!

We are hoping to be able to go out to dinner and celebrate with them, but everyone's schedules are so jam packed these days!

UPDATE : Mommy was sick so she sold her ticket to Uncle Michael.  I am sure they had a great time, but Mommy is very sad that she missed the show.

Monday, October 17th, we are headed to watch the greatest live rock band ever!  Unfortunately, when these tickets were bought neither Aunt Karyn or I were planning on being pregnant, so the partying will be minimal but the concert is still gonna rock!!!
