mimi and papa
01.27.2012 
Over the course of the past three years, my grandmother has scanned every single photo ever taken of my family (from my dad’s high school prom pictures to my little sister’s eighth grade graduation) and organized them into a digital photo album. It’s seriously amazing to be able to browse the lot whenever it strikes my fancy. That’s how I came across these pictures of my grandparents, also known as Mimi and Papa, on their November 1963 honeymoon in Arizona. And yes, they’re just as happy and in love now as they were then :) Cheers to life-long Valentines!

I wish all of our old family photos were scanned! I know that I've lost tons of them, but my grandparents have some really beautiful shots, I need to steal them and scan them ASAP!
What a gorgeous and thoughtful gift that your grndmother has given her family. Love this idea. XO
Amazing, how great of your grandmother to have archived all that history for the family.

That is so amazing that she did that for you all:) What a great gift!
I wish for you to have the same happiness and love in your life as your grandparents. Inspiring relationship.
What a treasure. Your Mimi is gorgeous!
!!! I just had an exaggerated response when I saw the title of this post. I, too, call my grandparents Mimi and Papa and have never heard anyone else put those two together. I´m from Arizona and so many of their photos have cactus in the background, too. They are both in heaven now, but none the less, it just made my day to think of them!
sweetest....
although i'm a sucker for instagram, there's nothing like the real thing.
thanks for sharing.
What a savvy Mimi, and such beautiful photos!
What a gorgeous couple! And what an amazing project, to scan old family photos. That is truly something to be treasured! Loving your blog!
