Globe-trotting Grovers: taji LOVES babi

our story

It all began on the evening of Nov 29th 2003, at former Chat Noir French Restaurant in Costa Mesa, CA. Brad approached me [Jana] and we instantly connected; it was love at first sight. The next 4 years that followed were a whirlwind of romance, growing pains, and adventures. We circled the globe, traveling to South America, Europe, and Asia. Then one night, Brad surprised me with a romantic beachside proposal. We made it official on August 23rd 2008 with an intimate wedding at a hip art gallery in Laguna Beach. A year later we finished redesigning our home in the beach village of Corona del Mar.

On May 18th, 2010, we were blessed with a sweet little miracle of our own, our baby boy Taj Leon. He stole our hearts and took our breath away! Then, 19 months later, his incredible little brother, Jax Franz, arrived on Christmas morning (December 25th) 2011. What an amazing gift we received! In an effort to slow down the clock and enjoy our beautiful family, in Spring of 2012, we sold our CA seaside home and moved across the country to our dream lake house in Brad's hometown of Bemus Point, a resort village on Chautauqua Lake in Western New York! Even though we are living a more slow paced life, we are living a life far from ordinary!

From the West Coast to the East Coast, our Grover family adventures continue! So won't you come along and join us on this journey of love, family, and travel we like to call our La Vida Grover!

taji LOVES babi

Dear babi,

You are the best babi a lil boy could ever have! I love all the times we play together, when you make silly faces at me, and whistle a tune. I love when you tap my nose and make the telephone sound, it always makes me smile! I love falling asleep on you, and will miss you sitting next to me, entertaining me, in the backseat of the car. You care so much about me, and helped me learn how to roll from my tummy to my back when I was tiny back in the day. You also taught me how to do the "soldier crawl." You took good care of me when mommy and daddy were out, and you always made me feel better when you burped me! I love all the fun gifts and adorable clothes you bought me. Babi, I love you soooo much. I will miss you very much, but I look forward to seeing you and smiling at you over Skype. Have a safe flight back to Czech.

I love you!

Moc pusinek pro moji oblibenou babicku posila,
