group hug

when we can, erk, little m and i try to sit down and eat dinner together. it doesn't happen often

earlier this week we sat down and enjoyed one such occasion. 

it was lovely. 

even little m agreed. 

at one point she looked at us, cocked her head to the side and spread her arms out as if she was awaiting an embrace

erk and i frequently initiate "group hugs" and so i asked her, "group hug?" and she nodded and smiled. it was the best group hug we've ever had.
