Jackson and the "Baquoom" (AKA Vacuum)
Jason and I saw a special the other night on CBS News about a little boy (about 8 years old) who is obsessed with vacuum cleaners. He has like 150 of them--seriously. The show made us a little nervous because Jackson seems to have a slight obsession of his own. It started off that he was afraid of it-- just didn't like the noise. This makes complete sense because he is afraid of all loud noises. Then it turned into more. It's this love/hate relationship where he must know where the vacuum cleaner is at all times. He wants to play with it and push it around, but, oh my goodness, the earth stops rotating if it gets turned on! He flips out--crying hysterically. Now, almost every morning when he wakes up, "baquoom, baquoom, baquoom" is the first thing he says, and we have to get it out and let him push it around for a while. Hoping to lessen his obsession with the big one, we bought him a little vacuum cleaner to play with. It hasn't worked so far...Now he just loves (and hates) both of them equally. Jason and I are praying he will not turn into the little boy we saw on the news!! His obsession with vacuum cleaners just didn't seem "quite right." :)

Jackson has gotten so big!! I am still trying to picture you chasing three little boys :)
Also, I'm glad we aren't the only ones with vacuum issues.
That is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Beau loves our vacuum to and gets all in the way trying to climb on it while I'm cleaning. I told Tal that we should invent a vacuum cleaner with a seat on it so that Beau could just ride on it.
hope you are feeling well. Do you have definite names yet?
YES! We are pretty settled on Will and John Wesley :) but still not sure which is which.. ha! I will buy one of those vaccum cleaners if y'all invent one--seriously!
