I found my key to low light level photography: returning to monochrome. Whenever I find myself in low light situations, I end up hating the yellow cast that results in all of the pictures. I have found that by setting the camera up to a "user defined" monochrome setting with high contrast and high sharpness (I'm using a Canon 40D), the results are much more fun and require little to nothing in the Photoshop stage of editing. This week I find myself trying to capture everyday moments in our house before I run out of opportunities and free hands. I'm shooting at ISO 1600 most of the time (at night our big old house is like a tomb) and most shots are between F1.4 and F3.0. Regardless of the fuzzy noise from the high ISO, I still think I've caught some keepers.

Wow,the Baby! Love that pensive over the shoulder shot. Looks like he is milkin his last days of being the baby for all it's worth. I also like the monochromatic touch.
Oh, those are precious! My girl was asking when the baby can bathe with her...hmm, will there be an attempted drowning?! :) Great tip on the monochrome setting. It is working like a charm for you. Guess I need to give it a whirl, if I have that much enthusiasm at that time of day!
