Thanks Uncle John


My sister Hillary was in town for Christmas with her fiance :) and they came up to see us before flying back up to Seattle. We are sort of out of a car (it is in the shop) so I needed her to take me to do some shopping and such. I wanted to leave Lincoln and put him down for a nap and take Gillian with Hillary and I so John wouldn't have to watch them both but the opposite happened. Lincoln pretty much wouldn't let go of Hillary so we took him and left Gillian with Uncle John and Uncle Summit to play the Wii. So Hillary and I took off and went to Walmart. I tried to hurry but I am still on the mend so I took a long time getting around plus I just couldn't concentrate and forgot what I was there for so it took forever. We finally got back and they left and Jake came home.

I was at that point dead on the bed, totally exhausted from the shopping trip and unable to watch what the kids were really doing in the living room...which obviously wasn't the best choice...I just couldn't move. Jake went in after checking on me to talk to the kids about there day and he walked in on Gillian and Lincoln chugging down a dr. pepper...each one of them had their own cans. Needless to say he was angry and asked why she would be doing that. She said it was hers and Uncle John had given it to her. She wasn't giving it back. We think Lincoln found one someone had been drinking from and didn't finish. A little while after that Hillary called to say sorry for Uncle John giving Gillian an entire can of soda and a marshmallow and caramel sandwich...along with other things I am sure. You could imagine my reaction...and it definitely explained her ridiculous behavior that night. So, Gillian had a great time with her family for Christmas and had her very first can of soda. Thanks to Uncle John :)
