Last week in Germany

Well, we finally have a computer with internet.  So we will try to post some of our last few months of moving, even if in abbreviated form.  First, a thanks to all of the people who helped us with the move.  It was stressful, as all moves are, but we kind of cut it close with the timing.  I had a conference right up until the day we left, so we were trying to empty an apartment, sell or give away all our possessions, and say goodbye to everyone all while keeping an eye on three kids.  Our neighbors upstairs awesomely let us stay in their house the last few days, and a lot of people came by to help.  My friend Mark Pankow helped us move a lot of stuff, and we had the Egly's, Baumann's, Elizabeth, and Deepanshu all helping with babysitting or cleaning.  The young men even came to help carry some stuff around..


The Timmers helped a lot, watching the kids and helping KT clean.  We really are thankful for them, and will really miss not being their neighbors.


Finally, these are my people at IFAM (Institute of Applied Mechanics) at the Young Investigator's Conference the night before we left.  I really loved working there, and will always be grateful for all of them for all they have done.
