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!

Sweet Dreams...

They sure are! The last 3 nights in a row, our little Jax has extended his night sleep! He's always been a good sleeper, averaging 5-6 hours. Then 3 nights ago, he went 7 hours! And last night, almost 9!!!! We had a doctor's appointment for the boys yesterday, they both got shots....Taj his usual boosters for Polio and Hep A, and Jax received his first series (Rotavirus and DTap... by the way he didn't even cry or flinch... what a brave baby huh?) Jax took a long nap in the morning before and during the appointment and then when we got home he was up and awake until 7pm when I last nursed him. He fell asleep at 7pm and didn't make a peep until 3:44am exactly! That's 8 hours and 45 minutes of sleep! After nursing him, he went down again and slept until 8:40am :) The shots and not napping the 2nd half of the day pooped him out! One more thing to add is that Brad and I moved his pack n'play to the guest room 3 nights ago, so him having his own room also had something to do with it! We couldn't be happier reclaiming our room back, and are on the road to transitioning Jax into Taj's room pretty soon (especially since he's almost on the same sleep schedule as him!) Yey for our marathon sleeper!!! We are about a week away from his 3rd month birthday and couldn't be more proud! I remember Taj doing the same at 11 weeks old, so the boys are definitely alike in their sleep habits! It's sweet dreams for the boys, sweet dreams for mommy & daddy, sweet dreams for all! What a well-rested household we are!
