Chaney Bunch: A Day at the Loewens

March 9, 2010

A Day at the Loewens

We were excited and privileged to recently witness the baptisms of Tyler and Heather Loewen.

In the morning, we attended their church service, then returned to their home for lunch. After lunch, we all got a chance to visit, and play some games together.

The guys are hiding out.

The kids really became creative with a sort of "pantomiming" game. They divided into teams, chose an event, story etc, and the other teams had to guess what they were doing. This is Sarah and Nicole's attempt, which must have been good, because the other teams seemed to guess it quickly!

Some of the kids were "melodramatic!"

There was quite a variety of creative ideas!

What was especially nice was that even the youngest children were included.

Oh come on now Sarah. Even I can guess that one!

See if you can figure out this Old Testament Bible story...

Hannah, are you hiding from the camera?

It seems that all of our get togethers with the Loewen's eventually will include some sort of music.

After a quick supper, we all went to the church for the Baptism service. The kids were intrigued with the baptismal...

After giving stirring testimonies of their faith in Christ, both Heather and Tyler were baptised.

Afterwards, we were able to visit with some friends, both old and new.

It was a day filled with fun, blessings and fellowship. Thank you Loewen's for including us in this very special event.

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.
