This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

P.S. on Marcie; new pics

Marcie made it safely to Children's Medical Center and was feisty, as always - to quote the transfer nurse "She isn't really cooperating [with the mask change-over], but that's okay. We like them spunky like this." She was active the whole trip; but then the trip was only 3 blocks. :}

They were settling her in when I last called, so I don't know if she will have surgery tonight or tomorrow.

Here are some more pictures. Thank you for praying!!

David, just 50 grams below his birth weight at 2 pounds, almost 5 ounces
(Goal is birth weight at 2 weeks old, so we're praising God for their weights and feeds!)

Gracie with Daddy's ring balanced on her knee. She's exceeded her birth weight by an ounce - now 1 lb 13 oz. :)

Seth, who has also exceeded his birth weight and is now 2 lb 3 oz, even thought he looks SO skinny!

Will and Mom. He likes to hold his own pacifier in, so I think he's dreaming about it.
He's gained 20 grams (0.7 ounces) over his birth weight.

Marcie holding Daddy's ring; back up to birth weight (at least until this latest development.
Her feeds had to be stopped when she was put on medication for the ductus arteriosis.).

  2. These posts showing the size of the babies in comparison to Gavin's ring brought me to tears. Truly we are fearfully and wonderfully made! May God's gentle hand continue to bless you all.
