Happy New Year

10 days late but hey it counts. Last weekend I went to the Bears/Packers game with Sandra's dad and Brother. It is our 2nd trip up to the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. We had a great time, did some tailgating in the cold and had a good guys weekend. I wish the Bears would of won, but they didn't have much to play for having already locked up the #2 seed in the NFC. I want to especially thank Grandpa Paul for letting me use his Carhartt's. I stayed very warm throughout the game. Next year we hope to go to Soldier Field to see the Bears beat the Pack.


This Thursday is the Cubs Caravan in Peoria. Sofia will be going with me. unfortunately sandra will stay home with Santiago. I hope to get some good pictures of Sofia with the players. I'm sure she will some interesting things to tell them. Have a good week everyone and Go Bears!!!

P.S. Sandra is SUPER BUSY with her online grad school classes through St. Xavier. She has a lot going on at school as well and at home with me and the kids. So if you see Sandra give her a hug and tell her to Chill :)

Iadipaolo Update

Hey Christmas shoppers. Hope you are almost done with your Holiday shopping. I know I am not. This last week has been a little crazy at the Iadipaolo house. Sofia had a little stomach bug Tuesday and missed 2 days of school. I will admit, taking care of a sick 4 year old and 2 baby boys is quite the task. Sofia is much better and made it back to school yesterday for her school Christmas party and Christmas program last night as the preschool sang Christmas Carols.


This saturday will be a full day. in the morning we have the Santa Breakfast at Dunlap High, then a birthday party of a classmate of Sofia's in the afternoon and to end the day we are hosting my Mom's side (Wamboldt) of the family Christmas party.
We are very excited for Christmas next week. Sofia has asked Santa for a lot of things. Hopefully he can fit them all in his sleigh. Until next time this is Vince signing off

Baby its cold outside...

Its cold outside and so that means only 1 thing. You guessed right: Sandra is sleeping with a hoodie on at night again. Its my favorite time of year. I love putting up the Christmas tree and shopping for presents for people I love. Also a tradition that Sandra has forced upon me is shopping the day after Thanksgiving. I do enjoy it a little, seeing people go crazy and the mass hysteria at the stores.
Sofia will be very happy with what Santa is bringing her this year. Toy Story 3 will be a big part of the presents as well as the Disney Princesses of course.
This weekend will be awesome. Sandra and I are going out on a date saturday night for the first time in a while. Santi will probably have to go with us (for feeding reasons) but it will be nice to go out to dinner without a babbling 4 year old. Sofia's new nickname is Gupta. Gupta is from the NBC show Outsourced. He talks a lot and doesn't make much sense just like Sofia.
Well, until next time I have some free time ( Like now when Sofia is at school and both Santi and Cooper are taking naps for me ) Stay warm!!!
