Chris and the older kids have been attending a seminar on Sunday nights entitled, "Thinking Like a Christian". The emphasis is on the world-view of a believer, whether it would be secular, or Biblical.
Since Charity was not old enough to attend these session, Karla and I decided to begin a session of our own entitled "The Young Peacemaker". Since we'd be teaching it anyway, we invited a couple of moms with children who would also not be attending the 'big kids seminar'.
Charity, and her friend Meliah.
The goal is to teach the young people how to deal Biblically with conflict.
We teach a lesson, memorize a verse, read scripture together, do some role playing, do some puzzles and reading, and then...
serve refreshments.
So far, it has been excellent training for these kids. This class will last 12 weeks.
The bed next to the house was where Dave and Rachel wanted to lay the stone for Jamie's memorial.
It was cleaned out, and mulched in.
Jamie's memorial.
Chris made a cross to commemorate Christ's death, and resurrection, realizing that we will see this child one day when we are resurrected as well.
Well, it may not seem like a big deal to most of you, but this bathroom has the one goal that the Chaney household has had for the past 11 years! This week, we purchased the vanity and pantry cabinet that we wanted, and Chris put the vanity in place, cut the holes for the pipes and water lines, and set the sink that we had found on "Craigslist" on the top. The wood is unfinished, so there is still work to be done. This is another step forward! I anticipate writing a post someday that shows the various steps in the process, as well as the completed project. I think Chris is doing a beautiful job! 
The bathroom is beginning to look finished!
They have been able to saddle him, and put weight on the saddle.
Karla's birthday rolled around, so Shari and I took her to dinner...
It was a joyous occasion, with lots of children and laughter.
Daniel and Amanda enjoyed the event,
...as did other friends and family.
