Attila, my daughter walked into the kitchen, grabbed her "little" brother (who's actually a smidge taller than she) in a bear hug and said, "Hello, bro. How are ya doing?"
He looked over her shoulder at me while she held on tight, lifted his eyebrows and mouthed, "awkward."
But he didn't try to squirm out of it either.
"Good," he replied, "How are you?"
"Good." They shifted from foot to foot in this little huggy thing for a while.
And my heart smiled.

So sweet. But is your daughter really named Atilla? Hey, your feed is still not coming through my Google reader. :( wonder why? take care.
Great story. Love your daughter's name!
AWWWWWWWWWWWW. That is so sweet. i hope Atilla and Awkward grow closer each day. Well, I know there will be ups and downs, but generally grow closer each day.
I'm feeling the need to clarify that my daughter's name is NOT really Attila. If you click on the link, you'll understand. It is my attempt at humor.
Tami---That truly is something to *smile* about. Hopefully they will remain close---not in stature...but in love!
Bless you girl! :)

So sweet. My brother and I fought just like most brothers and sisters do. It's so good to hear a sweet story.
So very sweet dear.
Oh - that picture made me smile today! I hope my kids give bear hugs like that when they're teens. Even if they have to act like it's "akward." :)
I wish my two youngest would do this just once. Right now they are constantly at each other. It is so aggrevating! Thanks for the visit! Come back!
