“After an early morning of smoothie bowls and walking around Encinitas, California, Beverly and Bob McIntyre, aka Mimi and Papa, took the grandchildren out for a swim at the beach to enjoy a little sun. This is one of the rare moments of Papa sitting down because he’s always in the water and catching the every wave, despite his struggle with diabetes. Mimi, on the other hand, loves relaxing and learning about the newest design trends that she can use in her side job as an interior designer. When she’s not hanging out with her family or designing, she is traveling the world as a missionary or working at her local church as a women’s pastor. They have been married for 54 years and still manage to make each other smile everyday.”

 

Samantha’s photo earned Honorable Mention in the Color category.  Continued congratulations, Samantha!

“When I was growing up, my great grandfather would drive up in his tan Chevrolet after school to pick my sister and I up and take us to have cookies and milk with our great grandmother until we were able to go home when our father got off work. Our after school activities would consist of roaming through the garden, playing the harmonica, reading fairy tales, and of course.. sugar cookies and milk with our homework. He constantly gave his time and effort into demonstrating love to us girls. My grandpa Walker is a man who is full of laughter and joy for life. Serving over 40+ years in the Navy as an E6 Sailor, he has dedicated his life to service, my grandmother, family and the Lord. He never failed to smile and demonstrate such joy. After losing my grandmother, he still has continued to prioritize joy over his life and has given that gift to me. Through any thing that life brings you, God never fails to give you a reason to smile and to never let it fade, so just smile.” 

Caitlin’s photo earned 1st place in the Black and White category.  Continued congratulations, Caitlin!
