Introducing the Craigs

I just realized I have never talked about my family, so I just though I would give a little introduction: (p.s. this picture was taken last Thanksgiving)

Dain Atkin Craig - My faja! : Works in the radio business and is currently employed in Houston, Texas where he and the rest of my family still live. Enjoys skiing, hiking, Warren Miller movies, anything with Sandra Bullock or Amy Grant involved, dogs, music, drumming, scuba diving, spicy foods and Polynesian culture. He thinks he's Samoan. (I mean, he is Samoan...)

Lelani Pickett Craig - my madre! : Owns her own company, CommGap, that does interpretations and translations for over 100 languages! Sweet huh?! She likes yoga, pilates, working out in general, skiiing, scuba diving, driving really fast (when legal, right mom?) and will try anything at least once. She is super positive and loves adventure! She and I also share the same birthday, January 25th, with her dad!

Christian Alberto Craig - brother! : 17 and in his final year of high school. Crazy! He absolutely loves being in Marching Band, where he plays the clarinet. He is also extremely talented at the guitar and even writes his own songs. He loves hanging out with his friends, snowboarding, and anything that involves music. He's not home very much this year because he's always at school, band, or work (The Incredible Pizza Company, that's the real name, I promise). He's a sweet kid!

Emilia Lelani Craig (Emi) - sista! : 13 going on 35 and in the 8th grade. Emi plays the drums, which I think is super cool, and was the only girl percussionist in her band until this last year of school. Emi is super feisty and blunt. Trust me, you'll know if she doesn't like something. She's also a really hard worker, stubborn, determined, and what my dad likes to call a "sneeky charmer, a charmer that is sneeky". You can always count on Emi to know brand names and designers. She's fun to have around (when she's not grumpy) ha ha :)

Sassy - our Red Heeler. She passed away this past February from cancer and I still miss her all the time. She LOVED to play with her ball (or any of her toys really, but her favorite was her tennis ball). She enjoyed walks most of the time, but she let you know really quick when she was done. We rescued about her 7 or 8 years ago when she was days away from being put down at a local animal shelter. She's probably the sweetest dog ever and she is greatly missed. Her only problem was that she ate Dax's food and got fat while he got skinny. Silly dog.

Dax - our Catahula. or something like that. I'm not really sure. We got him about ten years ago. Dax is a super mellow dog. He doesn't know how to play fetch, which is kinda funny. He loves to lay in the sun and take naps. He is getting really old, so naps are pretty much all he has energy for these days. He's an awesome guard dog (when he could hear well) and absolutely loves walks! Dax is a good dog! We love him lots.

Well, that's my family. I don't get to see them often seeing as how they live in Texas and I live in Utah, but I talk to them often (thank goodness for technology!). I get to spend two whole weeks with them for Christmas, so I am really looking forward to that. They're the best family ever! It's great being a Craig!
