A Visit with the Joliet Scotts!

Abby, TJ and I had a fun day visiting with part of the Joliet Scott clan today ... Arloa and Gracie (and their little friend Tommy)!

Ironically, even though we share the same last name ... we are not related. We found each other completely by accident in late 2002 when an adoption agency we had both contacted got us mixed up. They left a message for the other Scott family on my cell phone, calling us by their first names ... and then I saw Arloa post on an adoption board and realized that it was the same people and told her of the error ... and we began emailing shared the rest of the journey together! Our girls are just 23 days apart in age and it was lots of fun to see them together!

We met up partway between Tremont and Joliet at the Children's Discovery Museum in Bloomington, and the kids had a blast. After talking, we realized it has been over 3 years since we met up with both of our families together while on spring break in the Florida Keys (by coincidence) at the same time in 2006!

Here are some pics of the day, a good time was had by all and I'll let them speak for themselves! As always, you can click on the pictures for a full size view. Arloa also put a few pics on her blog, The Joliet Scotts
