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!

Happy 1st Birthday, JAX!!!
We love you soooooooo much! It sure has been an amazing first year for you, my littlest love! You were able to experience so much in little time! It truly feels like we were able to slow down the clock with you and enjoy every precious moment despite the constant changes around us! With your big brother by your side, we were a lot more adventurous and confident with you. It helped that you are also a very adaptable boy, and as sweet as pie! You have the most easy going disposition, and everybody that meets you remarks how happy you are. You bring daddy, Taj, and I so much inexplicable joy every time you look at us with your big blue eyes and long eye lashes. Your smile and giggles always express how comfortable you feel, and that is our biggest reward. We also can't get enough of the kisses you blow, the open-mouth kisses you readily give, and that adorable little dance you do the second you hear music! I'm so proud of all your accomplishments and milestones, and most of all, I'm completely in love with you! You complete our family perfectly. You and Taj are like two peas in a pod, doing everything together, and enjoying each other's company..... always! I don't know how daddy and I lucked out as much as we did with 2 happy, healthy, and handsome boys, but we sure count our blessings every day! Our wish for you is to remain healthy and happy forever, and that you continuously go through life learning and growing with this much ease. Your daddy and I will continue to give you and your brother only the best in the world, provide you with an adventurous and fun life, and expose you to as many wonderful things and travel experiences as we possibly can! I know you will excel in everything that you do, because you have a great happy-go-lucky attitude, so affectionate, yet very patient and sweet. Thank you for coming into our lives, for making the holidays way more special, and for allowing us to be your lucky parents and proud big brother!
