Back to Work
It actually happened. January 4th seemed so far away as I sat holding my new baby girl in the hospital mid-October. I knew that it would be hard to go back to work, but I always thought that I would be ready when the time came. I was wrong. It was one of the hardest things that I've had to do. People say that it makes me a better mother because I can make a difference with kids outside of my home as well, but that doesn't make it any easier to leave Sage five days a week.
What does make going back to work a little easier is the fact that my sister comes to our house in the morning and takes care of Sage. Most mornings I can leave a fresh bottle of milk and sneak in to tell Sage to have a good day and that I love her, then it's out the door. Sheila waits for Sage to wake up for the day, gets her dressed, fed, etc. and plays with her until I get back home around 4pm. I cherish the weekends more than ever and I am already counting down the days until summer...

Lost and Found
Friday night after work Ross met some friends for drinks at Rock Bottom Brewery. He returned home around 7:30...without his wedding ring. However, he didn't notice that it was missing right away. It was after 8pm that he made the discovery. After searching his pockets and all of the plausible places that it may have been lost around the house, he decided to go back to Rock Bottom.
For those of you who were at Jay and Kelsey's wedding, you know where this one is going... :)
He explained his situation to the host who led him back to the men's room where Ross promptly dug through the trash. Voila! There it was, just as he had expected. His wedding ring had sunk to the bottom of the bag and after a few pokes, he was able to reach in and pull it out!
Moral of the story: A: Just don't wash your hands after you go to the bathroom, so this sort of thing won't happen to you or B: After washing and drying your hands in a public restroom, make sure your ring didn't fly off with the paper towels!

Double Trouble
We've been in the market for a more family-friendly vehicle for a couple of months now, but not all that seriously. However, that may have just changed...
During Thanksgiving my mom had a little "oops" and backed into our Taurus while parked at the bottom of their driveway. "There was a deer... and then the sun... and... and..." :)
Then today happened...
I (Amber...not that Ross ever writes on here anyway) was about two minutes onto 35S on my way home from work when I braked on the ice without ABS and tried to turn out of the slide. I ended up fish-tailing back and forth in the middle of the interstate a couple of times before I did a 540 and the van behind me slammed into the passenger side door. The collision propelled me back into the snowbank onto the shoulder, where I got stuck. I got thrown against my door, but not hurt other than some pain on my left side through my neck, back, and shoulder. Hopefully it's nothing major.
The other passengers were okay as well and thankfully Sage was safe at home with Sheila. Ross met me on the exit ramp and we were able to switch cars and drive the 1.5 hours that it took to get home in the horrible weather conditions. 80/35 closed soon after due to a much larger accident. We are so thankful that my accident wasn't any worse. God acts in miraculous ways!!
