dinner on the deck

I reached under the table at dinner time to pick something up and saw this.  I'm having a hard time putting into words why I love it so much.  First of all, it's all four of them together.  The way they were sitting so close.  The big feet and the little feet mixed together.  The little hands touching each other.  I wish you could hear the chattering and the laughing.  I wish you could see the way the big girls help and care for the little ones.  The way the little ones adore the big ones.  I really lucked out.  What did I ever do to deserve this kind of happiness?  And all these thoughts from a photo of bare summer feet under our little table on our dirty deck.  Wow.  Photography is magic.
