Barnum and Bailey have nothing on us

It's official, as of yesterday we became a full fledge three ring circus!!  We have added another little addition to our family...........Dino the 9 week old standard poodle.  This is all daddies doing, but I have to admit I'm a little excited (well, I will be once house broken status has been reached).  We've had quite the exciting week, we packed up the family (two week old Finn and all) and headed to Nashville for a home hunting trip.  As most of you know we are taking a transfer with TJ's new company to the Nashville are.  We are super excited for the new adventure and to have a house with a yard so the boys and dogs can run and play (and I can actually regain some of the sanity I'm bound to loose in the next few weeks).  So, for now we have in our two bed two bath condo located in the South Loop of Chicago, 1 new born, 1 toddler, 1 neurotic miniature poodle, 1 Standard poodle puppy, one happy husband and one delirious mama (visit at your own risk).   Life is an advenutre to say the least and we wouldn't have it any other way.  
Finn is growing like a weed, a really really fast growing weed, like the kind we had in our yard as a kid, the ones that always grew 10x faster than the grass.  Will is the best big brother, he went through a little rough patch (may or may not had to do anything with the arrival of Finn) but now he is back to his angel self.  TJ is working a lot, still working this territory and starting his new territory which consists of Tenessee, North Carolina, Kentucky and Indiana.  I'm adjusting to the three hour feeding schedule of our little Finn and learning how to run on an empty tank.  I wouldn't have it any other way, I love my boys!  We still have our condo on the market and are hoping it sales by the end of the month (keep your fingers crossed).  We have showings with sometimes a few hours notice, you can add that to one of the more entertaining circus acts we pull.   If prospective home buyers knew what we had to go through to get our house cleaned and out of it(on time) I'm convinced they'd make an offer out of pity.

Good luck selling your place... How stressful! I'm sure it'll all work out though. Nashville will be great... The boys will love the yard!! Any luck with finding a house there yet?

Wow, life is never dull! Congrats on the puppy, and I hope you are able to sell soon so you can achieve the yard :). Finn is such a sweet baby.
