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

Happy Birthday, Isaac!

Will dressed up to "escort" his sisters to Isaac's party in their formal evening-wear. Gracie is on the left, Marcie on the right. (And no, we didn't really go anywhere. We had pizza and ice cream at home, and the babies promptly spat up all over their nice clothes.)

I just have to point out how the girls' arms are linked with Will's,
and Marcie looks like she's leaning on her knight in shining armor. ;)

David crashing the party!

Alas, there was only one "tux" at Dilliards, a 3-6 month size fitting only Will and Seth (who had to send his regrets for the evening's festivities). David just looks bigger than Will in this picture because he's so much closer to the camera. Thank you, Whitney and Lynette, for the outfits! What fun to play dress-up! What fun to celebrate Big Brother Isaac's nine delightful years of life!

  2. Happy Birthday, Isaac!

    You rock, Gavin and Carrie. I've never had more than one baby at a time, and I very rarely had the energy to dress up my babies. Each one lived in sleepers unless it was really hot outside. The babies are SO cute. I'm very excited for you that Seth is coming home. Praise the Lord!!

  10. You gave the babies pizza!?! No wonder they spit up on their dress clothes! (Just kidding!). Happy Birthday, Isaac! I remember when you told me the secret a year ago (or close to it--maybe 10 months) that you were going to be a big brother! Well, look at you now! A big, wonderful brother is what you are!!

  17. Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you have done a amazing job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Firefox. Exceptional Blog!
