We were blessed with decent weather. We all got out in the yard, and cleaned out 4 flower beds, and the vegetable garden.
Thought for the Day/Week
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY/WEEK:
"In my view, the Christian religion is most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."
~Noah Webster- preface to 1828 Dictionary~

Preparing Rachel's flower garden for Jamie's memorial
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.
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.



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

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.

It was a joyous occasion, with lots of children and laughter.

She blew out her candles on the cake her Aunt Sarah made for her...
