Family as rock band

Well, we are finally installed in Germany, living with Stefan's father in the heart of the Black Forest. After moving out of our house, we had some stops along the way: three weeks living with my mother, a week in New York with my brothers, a week in New England with friends, back to New York for a few days before flying to Germany. We stayed in Germany just long enough to get over our jet lag and enroll the kids in school, when we promptly left for a week in London. Now, back in The Fatherland, we (the adults at least) are looking forward to some routine. My mother thought our start-and-stop itinerary made us sound a like a band of vagabonds; my brother thought it just made us sound like a band on tour. The latter image appealed.
