BEA, BBC, and a new Baby (not mine!)

Tuesday afternoon I took the train to New York City to hook up with the largest gathering of book bloggers EVER.  I had a fabulous time a Book Expo America (BEA) and the first annual Book Bloggers Convention (BBC) but the very best part for me was meeting all the bloggers.  I've known many of them online for a long time and yet there were still an enormous number whose blogs were completely new to me.

After a great few days, I left New York on Saturday afternoon and made it home by 5pm.  At 7pm I was at the hospital with my sister, and at 8:17pm I got to see my third nephew come into the world.  Colton James was 7 pounds 2 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long.  It was an amazing experience to be actually IN the room as he was born.

I had a fabulous time in New York but coming home to this wonderful new addition to the family was amazing.  Of course it also meant that I haven't really had time to think about recapping my trip or sharing the crazy amount of stuff that followed me home.  I promise tell you all about it just as soon as I can!
