We decided to retire the Saab and find another mountain/activity car. Z doesn’t fit in most cars so we quickly narrowed down what we were looking at!
I fell in love with the X5’s “moon roof” and it is all wheel drive so we don’t need chains for the mountains. Even though Z said we would never own another black car, because they show too much dirt, we found this one and it had everything we were looking for.

We recently started participating in a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Each Friday we can log in and view the contents of our box for the upcoming week. Every Thursday, we receive a box (or two!) of organic fruits and vegetables most of which are grown at the CSA farm or local from the Pacific NW. We can substitute up to 5 items in our box each week.
The CSA is a great way for us to eat different fruits and vegetables, try to eat food grown locally, and support local farms. I recommend you check out the CSA in your area or look for Farmers Markets in your area.
View the beautiful fruits and veggies we received in (pears, figs (YUM!), apples, oranges, beets, pluots, red onions, shallots, arugula, lettuce, leek, red pepper, cabbage and chard)

We finally got around to updating our website! We’re still trying to determine a layout we like so you may see more changes!
We are really enjoying Seattle so far. We’ve taken a few road trips to explore the Pacific Northwest including a long weekend in Portland, Oregon and Thanksgiving in Vancouver, Canada. We recently bought cross country skis and are looking forward to getting on the trails! While the city does not get a lot of snow, the mountains got about 8 feet so far.
This year we had a quiet Christmas in Seattle. We invited a few friends who are also new to Seattle to help us decorate our tree on Christmas eve. Zvonimir and I spent a quiet day at home on Christmas day making cookies.
