some family talk ...

Hi folks,

no card today. But some of you guys have asked about our "new life" in Germany. And I promised to post some pics.

I decided to start with some interesting pictures from the "BIG MOVE" from Alabama, USA to Lower Saxony in Germany.

Since we had a moving company coming to pack up A L L our stuff (I mean really everthing) it looked crazy like this:

part of the kitchen

dining room with living room


guess, what is this? yep, a small part of my stamping stuff. they packed everything pretty good but boy, I was watching them .....
the first container packed with a part of our 400 moving pieces


Mathis and Jannis pretty excited because of all the things going on (well, at least for a little while)


the first container jam-packed!!!! I mean it was FULL!


Here are the boys waiting for the rest of the boxes being brought into container #2

me and the boys resting under a tree and watching what's going on ...

now, it was time for the car to be packed up - SAD moment

bye bye baby!!

And this is Hartmann Family without furniture watching the german soccer team playing during the World Championchip. The boys enjoyed the empty house for quite a while but without their toys .... :(

Okay, here I will finish part 1 of our "New Life" series. Stay tuned for more pics here on the blog
Hugs Tanja

Oh my friend, that is some move! I am remembering having to do this every 2 years or so and feel your pain! Blessings to you on this new journey in life and hoping things fall into routine super quick!

Oh that is so familiar ... we moved from Ireland to the US and after 4 years - from the US back to Ireland... lots of containers and boxes! Thankfully we had a moving company doing the packing and unpacking too!!! There are still boxes in the garage not unpacked !! LOL!!!! (that's after 6 years!)

Wow, I could not even imagine all those boxes and the car too.

Oh my! What an amazing job that was. And to watch your car go byebye - yikes! Love the picture of the boys on the floor and I can't wait to see pictures of the new house and area.

Hugs sweet Tanja!
