Our New Addition: Snoopy

rajat — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 07:33:39 +0000

We adopted and brought home a two year old rescue beagle yesterday. His name is Snoopy. We are attached to this guy from the first time we met him a couple weeks ago. We are still getting to know each other but his disposition works with us completely.

So welcome Snoopy along with us. Come and visit us and you too get to meet him. He got a great grooming session today and is in the midst of changing his diet and getting used to our house and living in Seattle. His foster family was in Tacoma where he had huge fields to run in. So far he’s doing great and so are we.

Below are some of the pictures, the rest are available here:

Hiking Twin Falls Trail

Hiked Twin Falls Trail on May 30th with Bishal. Easy to moderate trail and very close to Seattle. Was a beautiful day and the trail was well-maintained and busy. We had a great time.

Here are the pictures from the hike, and you can grab them from here as well:

Hiking Rattlesnake Ridge

Shaily and I hiked Rattlesnake Ridge over Memorial Day weekend. It was the perfect way to start the hiking season this summer, and it was Shaily’s first hike in the northwest. We had a great time though the trail was more crowded than I had ever seen it.

Our pictures from the hike are below, or here:

Townhouse in Seattle

In March Shaily and I moved into our first home together. We bought a townhouse near downtown Seattle, next to University of Washington. We love the house we live in now and are slowly getting ourselves settled in. There are still a few things we would like to get to finish the furniture part of setting up the place. After that we’ll move onto artwork/decoration/etc but so far we are having a great time.

You should come and visit us or catch us on Skype and we’ll walk you around on webcam.

Some pictures are below and some more are here.

Pictures from Sledding in Capitol Hill

Pictures from all of us sledding during the snow storm in Seattle in December 2008.

Had a great time with Cam, Lyset, Brian, Amy, Shanti, Isaac and Ferdinand. Cam convinced me try some thrilling cardboard sledding using the boxes we had from moving in. Turned out to be a great time.

Some of the pictures are below, the rest are here.
