ay and Erica’s 6-year-old daughter, Avery, is a first grader at beloved Viewpoint School of Calabasas. She loves to dance and play tennis with her mom and little brother, who she adores. London, the McGraw’s 5-year-old son, attends Cornerstone Preschool. He also enjoys tennis, golf, and baseball, especially his Dodgers, “GO BLUE!” Jay and Erica cannot wait for London to start Viewpoint School next fall. The family shows their support for the school they love so much through volunteer work. From memorable nights of chips, salsa, and margaritas at Sagebrush Cantina (where Erica and her sisters first visited over 19 years ago) to turtle watching at The Commons, the McGraw family loves that Calabasas is a community where “everyone knows your name.” As Erica says, “We have so many friends here. We love raising our family in such a supportive community.” And Jay adds, “We have found everything we could want, here in Calabasas.” When the McGraw family is not out on the town in Calabasas, they are out traveling the world together. “You really get to know someone when you travel with them,” Erica explains. “Jay and I discovered that we usually wake up in the morning on the same page. Be it mimosas and brunch or a trip to the gym together, we are usually side by side.” From relaxing at their home in Cabo San Lucas to snorkeling and waterskiing in the Sea of Cortez to being snow bunnies in the Alps, traveling for the McGraw family takes away the stress of daily life. “It reminds me of when we first started dating,” muses Jay. “It brings you back to being infatuated with each other,” adds Erica. “It reminds us to just be best friends.” While the family is not out traveling, they love enjoying their beautiful home in The Oaks Estates. This fun-loving family delights in having friends and family over for backyard barbecues, swim parties, tennis, and Bocce ball tournaments. Above all, the McGraws make time for family. From making it a priority to have family dinners together to family bonding mornings to start the day right, this McGraw unit knows that the strongest bond of all is love. n If you know a great family or individual to profile, please contact us at: stylepublishing@gmail.com.
