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

"There was never a child so lovely but his mother was glad to get him to sleep."

Ralph Waldo Emerson spoke true. :)

Will

Marcie


David (yes, I covered his arms after taking the picture)



The sole hold-out, Grace, who delighted me by shortly thereafter falling asleep. :)

(Marcia, did I get their afghans straight? I love them! Thanks again!)

    Thanks so much for the pictures with the afghans. They are such adorable little ones. I think David has Seth's. The others are right. Not that it matters that much. I'm sure sharing is something they'll do a lot of over the years. Marcia

    All the hand-crafted things are so wonderful to see. There are so many very talented people out there.

    I was driving to church this morning and thought, I am sure that even Mary had those nights when she looked towards heaven and said, " when are you going to put your son to sleep?" Judith

    I think I can't agree with the spammer above. I don't find it at all fastidious to read this weblog - ha ha.

    I'm pretty much overwhelmed by this cuteness. Thanks for taking a little journey to dreamland, babies. Look forward to hanging out with you again in a few weeks :)

    What precious little ones - Thank You, Lord, for the blessings of sleep, for the renewal it brings and the peace it provides to parents. Please help these beautiful babes to take full advantage of this blessing. All praise to You, Lord, for continued mercies and this season when we celebrate Your Great Gift. NKL
