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!

Jax's Third Week
Jaxi-poo is 3 weeks! How time flies.... and look how much he's changing and growing! He's almost got a smirk or a half-smile in the photo above! As you can see, Jax is much more awake and aware of his surroundings these days, and he especially loves to be held, cuddled, and likes to relax..... (in his brother's rocker) (did you notice his onesie, it says "party in my crib!") He has surprised us with how strong his neck is and how he moves it from side to side! He doesn't even complain too much during tummy time. Caught a video of him doing it!
Jax likes to practice his tummy time on the new playmat Aunt Sherry got him (finally, a toy and baby gear of his own that's not a hand-me-down!) The little monkey.... getting loved on and squeezed by his older brother who loves him to pieces.... Enjoying 1:1 attention and mommy-son time during Taj's naps.... at the playground.... spending time with the family this past Saturday morning. We went on a walk, out to breakfast, shopped at the farmer's market here in CDM, and had playtime at the playground on the way home. The boys coordinated their outfits again, they both have sweatshirts (Jax's is a sweatshirt romper) from H&M that say Broxton 58. I have no idea what that means, but we thought the toddler and newborn version were so cute! We also had Auntie Jane and Uncle G come over Saturday night to meet Baby Jax, play with Taji, and then after Taj went to bed, we popped open the wine and had ourselves a fabulous dinner from Panini Cafe. It was the first time we hosted a little "double date" dinner at our house since having babies and we even brought out our fun swanky dishes and wine glasses for occasion!
So I have saved the best for last this week, as promised.... the snoring and sleep smiles video, enjoy!
ps..... dada got mama the very cool MAC Book Pro Laptop.... that's why you have seen a lot more updates and posts from lately. The new computer makes it easy and fast to post!
