Misc. Summer

OHHHH NOOOO! Guess who's got their learners permit, and now sits behind the wheel!

Hannah received the "Koch Cultural Grant" with which she was able to purchase a new
violin, and pass down her old one to Sarah.

Daniel turned 19 on September 29th. It was a very happy birthday!

POWER TOOLS!

Our family went out and helped Dan work 58 head of cattle this summer.

Both Hannah and Sarah participated, giving shots, pest control...

Mom helped cook dinner IN THE HOUSE!

Samuel did the branding!!! OUCH!

The girls played 4 hours of background music for the grand opening of a local

rehabilitation center in August.

One of Samuel's "entrepreneurial ventures".

Samuel in his "Butler County" colors, and Daniel dons the apparel of "Wichita State".

"The sons of thunder" continue!

Charity turned 9 this past August.

Ethan is one year old now. He has learned to walk,
says "HOT!" and loves to sing with Grandma.

More of Hannah's "special effect" photos.

Daniel and Samuel bought a truck for their lawn business this summer.

They paid for it with cash!

Hannah still spends a lot of her time working/playing with her dogs.

This summer we added a new barn/shed to our backyard.

It still needs one more coat of paint before winter!

Samuel has been working on some roping tricks. This one is called the "ocean wave".

Dan, Rebecca, Esther, Ruth and James Busenitz

Dan farms and raises cattle on the farm they purchased this year, and he and Rebecca are actively involved in music ministry in their church. Dan plays the banjo and bass, and enjoys hunting, softball, singing, and conducting orchestras and choirs. Rebecca composes Christian music, and teaches lessons in volin, viola and piano. She enjoys cooking, sewing and caring for the home and family. She and Dan also have recently started a home-based business with the "Herbalife" company. Esther's job is to expand her vocabulary and take care of little Ruthy and James; little Ruthy's job is to be cute, and excited about everything that she sees, both of which she has mastered! James is the spitting image of his father, and is as sweet as he can be.

Dave, Rachel, Ethan, and Jonathan Busenitz

Dave farms and raises cattle with his father, as well as farming, and is a skilled woodworker and guitarist. Rachel, in addition to caring for the home and children, enjoys crochet, quilting, scrapbooking and music. Little Ethan stays busy keeping them both hopping. Little Jonathan Seth is growing, and has a contagious smile and such a sweet disposition. Rachel miscarried a baby last fall, who they named Jamie. However, the Lord has seen fit to bless them once more, with a little girl due on December 3rd, her grandmother's birthday.

Daniel Chaney and Amanda Gerlach

Daniel, after meeting with Amanda's father for 2 months, was finally granted permission to begin courtship with the girl of his dreams on July 1, 2009. Daniel is a Senior at Wichita State University majoring in Accounting and finance, with a minor in economics. Daniel enjoys courting Amanda...but much to his dismay, there are other things that he must do. Therefore, he also works with Samuel on their lawn business. Daniel was offered and accepted a position that will start in January with Kennedy and Coe Accounting Firm. He plays the cello, banjo, classical guitar and sings, and is trying his hand at choral conducting, like his grandfather. Amanda is an angel, and if you doubt me, you should hear her play the harp! She enjoys scrapbooking, cooking for Daniel, and courtship night. She is very creative and has a real flair for the artistic. Daniel and Amanda are now engaged, and planning an August 6th wedding.

Hannah Chaney

Hannah is a senior in high school this year. She enjoys playing the violin and fiddle, piano, and mandolin. She teaches 3 violin and piano lessons each week. She is also in the first violin section of the Youth Symphony this year. She enjoys her time at home playing with and training her and Samuel's dogs. She also recently obtained 2 horses, which she trains and rides often. She began working at a local stables this summer, helping to teach young riders, choring, and training the lesson horses. Her other interests include sports, photography, outdoor activities, teasing her siblings, and family/friend get-togethers.
