You have some good stuff here. For whatever it's worth, here is my feedback.

#1 and 2, I really like. Good composition and lighting.
#3 is a very cute pose, but the messy hair is very distracting. I know it's not your fault, and I'm not sure how to even tackle that in PP if even worth trying.
#4 is very sweet, but the light in this spot seems too harsh. I see some hot spots--the light is just to uneven.
#5 is very good. lighting is even throughout and the pose is nice. I may have shot at a bit lower angle, but I like it.
#6 is really cute. The baby's expression makes this picture shine. However, there are quite a few distractions on the ground. The corner of the carpet, and the green box on the left are ones that stick out to me. Also, I would have probably pulled them away from the tree a few feet and then shot at a more open aperture, to get some nice DoF. But I like what you've done. It's very clean and I like the shutters behind the tree.
#6 of your daughter is a very good portrait, but I think a little bit of hairlight would make it even better, just to get some separation from the background. As it is, her hair blends into the backgroun.
#7 is priceless. I love to see the interaction between siblings, and this one is awesome.

VERY VERY cute photos, The eyes and hair in most of them look a little over processed. Too Sharp.

#1 is my favorite although the branch is distracting.

In #2 the girl in front has nearly blown out skin while the lady in the back is fairly dark in comparison (maybe use a curves adjustment to even the lighting fall off.)

In #5 the mother's and child's skin are blown out.

In #6 I'd like to see more depth of field, but I'm not sure that you have the lighting power to do so (I noticed you were already shooting at ISO320 1/100th f/3.2). A monolight would help that.

I love the pink cowboy hat and the baby's expression in #6 is priceless. Your pictures look very natural, if you look for details like messy hair and practice your light they will be phenomenal. Great work!
