So, that's where they all are!

Nice collection.  How about a video of ALL running
at the same time?  You'd be as busy as a long-tailed
cat in a room full of rocking chairs.  The sound would
especially be music to our ears!

I believe that "family portrait" falls well and truly into the Jaw Dropping category!!!
