Chaney Bunch: September- Chaney family happenings

September- Chaney family happenings

September means...yes you guessed it; SCHOOL! Charity is now a 4th grader. Sarah is in 8th grade, and Hannah is a Junior. I can hardly believe that we only have 3 left in school...besides having the 2 boys in college. Time has flown so quickly. I can only hope that once they leave our home, that the Godly values, and the desire to know God and His Word will be solidly built into their lives...and not just academics.

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!

The girls have continued to take some breathtaking shots of some summer and fall flowers.

Here are some shots by Hannah, that I thought were particularly beautiful.

Morning glories

Sun- flowers

Not sure what it is, but it's pretty.

Baby Jamies cross, with pure white carnations.

Hannah and Desiree Entz continue their work training the horse.

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...

So our families took advantage of the situation, and concocted a volleyball game!

Daniel and Amanda were blessed to take a trip to KC with Mr. and Mrs. Gerlach. They found a park in which they took pictures.

I'm sure many other adventures await us in September, and we hope to meet each new event with God's direction and blessing.

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.
