Used a hue/saturation adjustment layer to destaurate the photo then a colour balance adjustment layer to add a tint. In the colour balance adjustment layer I cooled the shadows a little (pulled them slightly towards blue) and warmed up the midtones and highlights but pulling them slightly to yellow with a touch a red and magenta. Finally, I pulled the file into Neat Image to clean it up a little bit more.

wow...I tried to get that scar out of [Ezella's face (the taller one) and I kept deforming her eye; you did a great job with that too! Thank you very much~
