Chaney Bunch: Miscellaneous March

Miscellaneous March

Besides Dan and Rebecca dealing with a terrible case of whooping cough with their newborn, Ruthy...

and purchasing their first farm, moving, remodeling the farm house, and Dan directing the Emmaus church orchestra, March has been rather uneventful for Dan and Rebecca's family! (yes, that was a joke)

Sarah took a few candid shots of Esther in her Easter dress while she was at their house for her piano lesson last week.

I picked a few of my favorite shots to show you.

Esther loves the outdoors!

She's out-standing in her field! (I believe this field will be planted with beans this year)

Ruthy is improving a little each day, but still has a pretty nasty cough. However, she has really started to smile and reach for objects. She's getting a little personality, and is so cute!

We went to dinner at China Star last Sunday after church. These little guys kept us all entertained!

Ok, they kept GRANDMA entertained...or maybe Grandma kept THEM entertained...well, take your pick!

the "smile!" that lets us know he's up to something!

We were joined by friends and family.

But it always seems to end too soon...Ethan tried to hug Esther goodbye, but she didn't stand still long enough.

It was a nice afternoon. We so enjoy seeing the family.

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.
