Thanks for all the great & encouraging comments but I need to point out that these are all models for an ad I did. I'm pleased to see that everyone perceived them to be an authentic family and hope that this knowledge doesn't change anyone's perception of the image...

Well, them not being a family explains why the babies are looking at them like they are idiots. :) "Real" or not, it is an exceptional shot and resonates deeply with me.
Fabulous! I'm a tad bit disappointed about them not being a family... I like to live in the dream world. *grin* But, not disappointed enough to stop loving looking at this image. Well done. Kudos to you.
Lovely image made all the stronger by the fact that the kids are looking across each other to the opposite parent - it binds it altogether into a family instead of two sets of two.
this is outstanding - the light on their faces, the expressions of the parents and the babies - priceless - i just wonder about the choice of crop - i think a tighter crop (taking off the bottom of 1/4th of the image) would even further focus our attention on their faces. since the adults are under the covers and their legs are already hidden - i think a crop would work great
oh what a lovely capture. i feel there is a bit too much space at the bottom of the photo, but other then that i love the cleanness the viewer feels when looking at all the white sheets. and the love:)
OH my Gosh. I LOVE THIS! What an amazing shot. If it were me, I would be sooooo thrilled to have this photo of my family. It is superbly composed and the expressions are priceless. I wasn't even voting yet, just sorta browsing, but this is my first vote. It's a 10 from me.
