Goodbye 2057

The Lutz family is finally back in business, blog wise, from a new location... 800 miles away from our old home. Two weeks ago we said goodbye to our Pennsylvania home and hello to beautiful Nashville, Tennessee. As a couple, we've now had 5 homes in our little over 8 years of marriage and it was time to pick a location and settle in. So, we are now enjoying being closer to family and friends and in a fabulous, fun city.
It was incredibly hard to leave our great friends and church in Philly, especially pulling Samuel and Emma away from their friends. Emma asks about "Mimmy" (Simeon) multiple, like 40, times every day. Samuel likes to pretend to be his Pennsylvania friends and continue the silliness they enjoyed when together. Thankfully, there are many ways to continue friendships through face time and phone calls even before they can be "pen pals." God has blessed us with so many great life-long friends in each of our homes, and we know He will provide for us here as well!
The kids had a blast with the packing and unpacking. I had to take a break from the boxes one day to capture some pictures of their antics.
One more playtime in the backyard… 


 

Hiding in and behind boxes… 






 And, climbing in empty cabinets and closets… 


As Samuel says, "Goodbye 2057. We'll miss you."

Such a dear post, Les. Transitions bring many mixed emotions, even for little Emma. It's such an extravagant blessing to have y'all in Nashville.

Yay, so glad to read this post. Good job at putting into words the paradox of moving - so glad you are settling in hopefully for a while now! Love the pics of the kids in the boxes - always a fun part of moving for us. Hope you saved some of those boxes!

What a sweet picture of the three of you in front of 2057! One to frame in the new house. So excited for y'all and these two just can't get any cuter-I love it. Also thanks for the pic of Emma holding her crotch ;)
