One of the first scanned of about 30 frames of Julia from my last visit with her in Madison. That's the visit where she accompanied me to my niece's wedding and got to meet my mother and siblings. And they charmed each other. So I still have more of her and Kristin Anne to scan, and a few more experimental 4x5 sheets to develop. This was with the Pentax 6x7, but I really do want to use the 4x5 more.
On a techie note, the P6x7s have a known weakness. The film advance mechanism wears out, giving uneven spacing, sometimes resulting in only 9 frames per 120 roll. That's what happened when I used my backup body shooting Kristin. I've since retired that body and now have the backup to the backup as my primary backup. The old backup now becomes the hanger queen, providing parts for the other two. Gotta break out the jewellers' screwdrivers and fix the shutter speed ring on the main camera tonight. They're getting old now. Maybe I sould consider one of those newfangled 67II bodies.

I was in a coffee shop yesterday, w/o a charger and half-way leaving my comment when my battery died.
I am pretty sure this is the best present I've had for my b-day :). This photo, and having your friendship, that is always a reliable backup.
And yes your family is a blessing.
