So, just how cool are book bloggers?

Take a look at this…

So, just how cool are book bloggers?  Crazy cool!  Last week I pulled a small package from the mailbox and didn’t recognize the return address, although it looked familiar, and rushed inside to open it up and found this beautiful sweater for Baby Gage or Baby Tara.  It was knit by the wonderfully talented Jenny from Jenny Loves to Read.  Her kindness brought tears to my eyes and I can’t thank her enough for the time she devoted to our Little One.  Jenny is awesome and if you aren’t already familiar with her, you should check out her blog.  Thanks so much, Jenny!

I cheered for the readers of the read-a-thon yesterday and was sad that I didn’t get to participate myself.  My parents were in town to help celebrate my birthday.  It’s not until tomorrow, but I like it when the birthday celebration is  drawn out 🙂  Jason took the day off tomorrow and we are going to a continuing education lecture day.  Two of my favorite topics will be discussed – politics and books.  More details tomorrow if I think it’s interesting enough. 

Yes, that belly is 3 1/2 weeks from it’s due date 🙂

    Oh my gosh, that sweater is totally adorable! Even from a photograph I can tell that Jenny is a very talented knitter. What a wonderful gift to receive from a terrific book-blogging friend. I’m going to check out her blog right now…

    What a beautiful surprise!! Jenny is very talented and so considerate. Don’t you love those teeny, tiny baby clothes? And most of them will be too big at first!

    Happy birthday too! I hope you had a wonderful day and are feeling well. I can’t wait to meet the new addition to the family! 🙂

    This sweater is adorable! I cannot wait to see a picture of the baby in it! Jenny is so sweet to make this for your baby and it’s an amazing tribute to you as well 🙂

    I hope you had a wonderful birthday celebration! (I hope you still have celebrating to do – drawn out birthdays are fun!) Best wishes for a great year!
