Emily is Smiling

There are so many things I love about this picture.  It wasn't taken with a fancy camera.  It wasn't even taken by me.  It was taken by my dad with his iPhone.  But oh... I just love this.  Don't you?

I love the tangle of legs in this picture.  You can't quite tell whose legs belong to whom.  My poor mom is at the very bottom of the human dog pile, looking quite small.  My little sister is the one with the sling on her arm.  I'm the one holding the dog.

The chair belongs to my dad.  It sits in his office, wonderfully comfortable and beckoning for anyone to sit in it. 

I like how my dog, Boo, is in the picture as well.  As if this poor, stuffed chair could get anymore full, we had to add a dog in the mix.  I believe she jumped up into the chair of her own free will.  Boo can't stand to be left out of a cuddle session.

Do you think anyone else could have fit into the chair?

I have an amazing family.  Every time I see this picture, I laugh, smile, and whisper a quick thank you to God for giving me the family that I have.
