The rest of July...

We've now been in Dresden for over a month - time certainly flies! We've found an apartment that we love (we move in mid-August) and have been slowly setting up all of our accounts and what-not. Dave has been hard at work on his fellowship applications, and Gin & Sabine have been hard at work attending lots of playgroups. Sabine has had a big month of development - she's now eating solids like a pro, drinking from a sippy cup, squealing at deafening pitches, sitting all by herself and rolling everywhere! We credit the German tap water.

Our first week in Dresden...

6 weeks after leaving California, we've finally made it to Dresden, Germany! Our first week was pretty busy with finding a place to live (pictures to follow!), Dave getting acquainted with his new lab, and lots of sightseeing...

A trip to T.O.

From the west coast we headed to Toronto to see Gin's side of the family. We spent a few days in the big city, then headed up to Blue Mountain for some R&R by the pool. Then Uncle Jay & Aunt Rena and their gang threw us a big farewell bash to send us on our way!

Visiting Victoria & Vancouver...

At the end of May we loaded up the UHaul a set out for Canada. We spent three weeks in Victoria visiting Dave's parents and some old friends. We also made it over to Vancouver for a few days to see some more family and to get caught up in Canuck fever (while they were on a winning streak!)...

Mostly May

The month of May was a busy one - we were hard at work selling and packing our belongings, organizing our trip to Canada and our move to Germany, and celebrating the end of Dave's studies at Berkeley...
