Year in Review 2013

2013 has been a busy but fun year for the Crane family.  Raymond is still working hard at work.  He is the shipping manger for a company that makes ATM signs for banks.  He is also working hard to finish his degree this coming year.  He is currently serving as the ward mission leader and loves it.

Jamie is serving as the primary pianist in church.  She is still teaching piano and voice lessons and has 16 students including her four oldest.  She enjoys sharing music with the children around her.

The older kids all switched to a new school this fall.  The new school is closer to were we live and still has a dual immersion program.  Samuel is working hard in school.  He loves to read and draw.  He tells us he would like to be an astronaut someday.

Ammon played soccer this fall and is getting better every season.  His favorite thing to do is play video games.  He does a great job looking out for his younger brothers and sisters.

Gideon moved out of the dual immersion program this year.  He is getting to be such a good reader.  He likes to build with his legos.  He was also able to play soccer this fall  and he and Ammon are on the same team.

Janet tried soccer this fall too.  She seemed to enjoy it.  She loves to make friends, play with toys, and draw pictures.

Aaron is exciting to be around.  He loves to play video games.  He is learning to read and also played soccer this fall.  Jamie was able to coach his team.

Juliandrea loves to dance and draw. She is a very happy and independent toddler.

We took a few vacations this year.  In the spring we visited Jamie's sister in Tucson, Arizona.  We were able to visit the Desert Museum, Sabino Canyon, and Old Tucson were they filmed several movies and TV shows.  In the summer we went to Lava Hot Springs and floated down the river.

We hope your 2014 is fantastic!  We love you!  Merry Christmas.
