Pods Squad

I have been a little negligent lately in updating the old blog lately, so here we go. (then again what is more boring than old news?)

First update is that we did end up adopting the kitten. His name is Pods, after the Sox speedy left fielder. Pods is somewhere around 7 weeks old, and is a tiny little puffball right now. He seems to live up to his name as he is a hyper little dude that you have to pay attention to all of the time, before he takes off again.

So far he is settling in OK. He doesn't mind the other cats, but they seem to mind him, especially the alpha-female of the bunch. She will follow him around just to yell at him, and tell him that she is the boss.

Another update on the house front... We have pretty much decided that we want to bid on the house on Elston Street that we liked, but we are waiting for the credit union to do a flood plain assessment to decide whether we should bid or not. The flood insurance alone on a place in that area would be the equivilant of buying at least another $10,000 worth of a house. If it comes back bad, we are going to go back to the place we looked at on Chestnut that is our second choice. Updates will follow as needed...
