Sister, I am so happy to read this. You really rocked this weekend. I, too, think the analogy rocked and you were so creative in finding a different way to handle it than in the past. If I were there I'd pat you on the...back...too. (Although I'm sure that the thought of two HD chicks patting each other anywhere is enough to throw these horny bastards into a frenzy, ha haa)
I also wanted to share with you something that H and I came up with this weekend that might be of interest to you. Since I am growin every day, hugs are becoming increasingly difficult. Right now, we stand with our feet far away from each other and then just lean in with our upper bodies until the shoulders meet..are you followin this? Well I suggested this weekend that we start hugging with my back to him. This has worked out great! I was thinking that maybe it would work for your H too. It is not so encompassing and engrossing b/c his arms are the only one actually hugging. I just stand there and enjoy the closeness. Also there ample opportunity for his hands to wander to the twins and that always helps. But I thought of your H and his difficulty hugging and wondered if that would help him...to not feel the somewhat smothering feeling of having arms around you and your front completely covered.
Just some thoughts and wanted to let you know that I am so glad for your kickbutt weekend.
