the rolling queen

C2 is our little rolling queen. She rolls all over the house and has even started army crawling on her belly. Her favorite rooms to visit are C1's bedroom (she loves destroying his tracks) and the hard, cold kitchen floor. In this picture she was army crawling her way to the camera.

C1 loves his GeoTrax trains and the little world Jon has created for him! C1 could watch the trains go around and around for hours.

C1 and Jon usually play GeoTrax trains together after work, but today C1 played by himself. He had all three trains going at the same time. What a coordinated boy - operating three remotes at once!

what's with the blog name?

So, you might be wondering,... How did you come up with a name like that for your blog? Well, let me tell you.

Once I decided to include our family in the world of bloggers, I realized I wanted a creative name. I played around with different options using our last name and such. I didn't come up with anything, so I asked Jon about it. I wanted to know if he thought we should include our first names or last in the title, or if we should pick an off the wall name. He thought we should just call it "off the wall". I played around with the idea of "Off the wall Parker's" or maybe "Parker's off the wall". Then Jon suggested that we just call it "Something Off The Wall". So there you have it,... That is how we came up with our unique, fun, and creative blog name - Something Off The Wall. Pretty random, huh?
