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

Two months old!
Seth is swollen in this picture, and Grace's usually big eyes were mighty tired that day, but I know you all will enjoy this lovely tribute photo shoot from UT Southwestern's great photographer. :)
More later - I have to rush to Children's to be with Seth during his "touch time." His nurse says she couldn't ask him to be any more content! THANK YOU Lord! And thank you all for asking for his continued peace, healing, growth and, ultimately, God's will.
Love,
Carrie

Wow, 2 months already! (My twins are 9 months, so our babies only 7 months apart.) I LOVE these pics! They are ALL so sweet! Will looks like he's smiling, and David looks like he's looking right into your eyes, Marcie looks angelic, Seth looks peaceful, and little Gracie looks like she has redish hair! Thanks for sharing these photos. You are SO blessed!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, precious babies! I agree with Laurie above--wish I could be there to help out! I'd give you back rubs, Carrie! I hope someone is! Love you all! Mary
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mary and Laurie. Thank you for posting the side by side, 2 month old picture of the babies. I know.....Marcie looks like Will; but in this photo I think Seth and Grace look just a whole lot alike!!! I know Seth is going to be just fine. Children's is the best place in the world. They will get all the issues straightened out I'm certain.

ReplyDeleteHappy 2 month birthday, Little Ones. You are loved by so many. I shed tears of joy for your improvement and continue to petition God for His healing and for the gift of health and growth for Will, David, Seth, Marcie, and Grace. I also pray in thanksgiving for you, Gavin and Carrie, and for sweet Isaac. Your lives have touched so many others. May you feel the presence of God at all times. I am in the Panhandle of Texas, and yet, I am often in the NICU with you as I pray for the babies, their parents, and big brother. Thanks for the birthday pictures and for being so faithful to update us through the blog.
