 Sorry about the grain and I do wish that I could have cleaned this up a bit more. But the flash shots look OK, but the dog looks best in this. I think is has some feeling in it while the others look posed. I shot this in 3 shot auto bracket and the shutter speed was too low. But as dark as it turned out, I liked it. After the challenge I can use some help trying to fix this up a bit. Thanks.
Post: Ran through one step photo fix in PSP8 twice. Reopened in PS Elements 2.0. Converted to Sepia. USM. NeatImage, USM. Resize.

Focus to soft and the noise is distracting. I think you could of had better lighting and a warmer feel with a colored version.

Is it me or do they look alike? :) The woman really seams to love 'Dali'. Is he named after Salvador Dalí?
There are too many details in the background: the lamp, the figurine, the window curtains. They distract from the main subject.
Consider running images with lots of noise through a program like Neat Image or Noise Ninja. PSP9 has an anti-noise function, too. Sometimes noise is an interesting image feature but for this shot it's distracting.
