These last few weeks in the Morsel house have been a mix between extremely busy and wonderfully lazy. After recovering from a glorious weekend at the beach, applying aloe gel every morning, noon and night to my peeling/burning/still-red-as-a-lobster-skin, getting back into the school that I should have done weeks ago, taking long walks with Blessing, reading like crazy, practicing choir music, texting friends, planning get togethers, planning on planning our garden, sleeping in late, trying new recipes, making grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon...must I go on? One of the "big" things that happened is this: We released the hawks. After months of training, and feeding, and freaking out-ing, and hunting with the beautiful, amazing birds, we had to let them go. When you catch hawks, the deal is you train them. You hunt them. You enjoy them. Then you make them fat and let them go back into the wild. Hoping that whatever you taught them about hunting sticks w...

Maybe you start reading the books they read, singing the songs they sing, wearing the kind of clothes they wear, praying the way the way they pray, posting the k...
{vacay-Morsel style}
We arrived back home Sunday afternoon, after a week and 3 days of glorious vacation time. 2 weeks ago we left home at 1. In the morning. People were not fully awake, people were cranky, people I was in great need of caffeine. It was an adventure. We drove for hours and hours, stopping once or twice so Daddy could sleep. Around 3pm we arrived in Tawas, Michigan. Mama did an amazing job at finding a rental house for us, and we decided that it was perfect for a weekend. It was really close to Lake Huron and the beaches, and it was incredibly nice. The color of the back door is absolutely my new favorite color, and...it had a hot tub. It had a hot tub in the back yard. Geez Louise. I love hot tubs now. Thursday night was spent getting settled. It's hilarious when we "move in" to a new house, even though it's only for a few days. Our little kids suddenly become attached to and exclaim over and over "Let's just move here! It's perfect!...
