Our Parallel Family

So I was on the computer today, and decided to log in to the blog and see how the updates went. I just added photos / slideshow, etc.  and wanted to see how it looked.

Anyway, I opened up the "other" laptop -- not the one I had been using. And since I'd never logged onto this site on that computer, it didn't 'remember' the name of the website like this laptop does.  And, instead of typing in the ".blogspot" portion, I accidentally just typed in www.davidsonfive.com.  And stumbled across what can only be described as an eerily similar family to our own.  For a brief second, I actually almost thought that someone else had set up a family website for us, without our knowledge.

But no -- its another Davidson family of five.  Husband, wife, two boys and a girl. Similar in ages but I think their kids are each about a year older than ours, give or take.  Blonde, fair-skinned kids that could be our kids' cousins -- siblings even if I didn't know better. The husband even works in the computer industry, for pete's sake.  We looked at some of their photos, and Ben would make a comment like, "there's a picture of their Noah standing behind their Travis, did you see that one?"  

We considered telling Ben's parents it was our website, and see how long it took them to realize those weren't our kids.  I'm guessing at least 20 minutes. ('hmmm...who's that strange woman holding Noah?').  Okay, just kidding.  10 minutes, tops.
