After saying she missed our old church every week since we moved, Lexi made it through the last two Sundays without complaining. This past week we went to an evening service at another church and she asked me why they didn’t start out singing “Come, let us worship the Lord, for we are His people, the flock that He shepherds…” which is what we sing every week at our new church to open worship.
I see the corner being turned for her at school as well. She really loves her teachers and has a lot of older kids she is attached to as well. It is so neat to see her with the sixth grade girls, who give her piggy back rides and make her feel special and cool.
It’s a little glimmer of hope that Memphis is incrementally feeling more like home. I can’t believe we’ve been here over four months now. It feels simultaneously like I’ve lived here for just a few weeks and I left Birmingham ages ago. We are still strangers in a strange land.

I’m so glad y’all are feeling at home. I’ve lived other places, but I was born in Memphis and love it when people feel like they’ve found a place here.
I love your blog! This post makes me happy. I know settling in can take a while, but we’re sure glad you’re here!!
