What an amazing collection of family photographs you have Busy B!  :)

(PS. The discussion about the babies was not because it was rare for them to be photographed, it was because I thought that the babies looked very quiet and still and I was just wondering if they might have been deceased when photographed. I'm not sure that the others think that way though, but I was just interested in their opinions, and there is not really enough detail in the images to know for sure.  ;))
Some examples here:
