Aah, Oops

I went early to the Elf event last night and listened to the end of a book while I waited for the hour to arrive. As I was waiting, I got a call from my brother, Jeff. My overjoyed, besotted brother Jeff. Seems he is now a grandfather of this most adorable bundle, Aydin.

My dear nephew, Bill, is his father. Aren't they sweet together? Jeff says that Bill tweeted updates of the birth throughout Sunday. Aydin arrived three weeks early. That might be a worry, but he is well over 6 pounds and has all appendages in tact. He also has his priorities in tact.

His Aunt Cathie and Uncle Tyler were in town for Thanksgiving from Ohio. Three weeks later and they would have missed out on all the fun. All this came out in the joyful phone call I received from Jeff. As I sat in my car in front of my friend's house. One week early for the party that will take place next Monday.

But here's my thought on that. If I hadn't been sitting there, I'd have been in my house, fooling around with my computer. I would have gotten the news from Cathie's lovely email and blog. I would have missed the unraveling of the story from Jeff. Not all mistakes are bad things.
