Jeff and Elizabeth have two kids with a third on the way. They love their home in Colorado, but an opportunity to work his way through one of Europe's premiere engineering PhD programs is an offer they can't refuse. Jeff has always wanted to live in a city, and Delft's rustic canals and European charm have him googly-eyed. He can't wait to lay roots in Delft's charming downtown, but with two kids and a baby on the way, Elizabeth worries that the canals and windmills may be causing her normally pragmatic husband to be swayed unscientifically.
