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

update Thursday morning the 2nd of May

No pyloric stenosis! Also, kidneys are doing great, functioning normally, and no high blood pressure, praise God! (Regarding Seth)

I just entered a James Avery photo contest, so Facebookers out there, please go and "vote" for me! You have to "Like" James Avery jewelry first, then look at the photos for "A Mother's Love is . . ." photo contest, and vote for us when they put the picture up. Here's the picture I submitted. Thanks, Jim Cartright, for being in the right place at the right time, and thanks to the Debs and Erin for helping and for Ashley being the impetus behind the "photo shoot" in the first place!

The pin I am wearing was my mom's Mothers' Day gift to me (early) - it's a James Avery pin with two little girls and three little boys dancing in a circle. How perfect!! When the salesperson heard why she was buying me that pin and that we had quints, she begged us to enter the contest. So we did. :)

    Your photo does not show up there when I try to go vote... you might try re-submitting it? If it is there you can post the direct link to your photo usually!

    Beautiful picture! Did I miss a post about Seth not needing the oxygen anymore? Is he weaning off of it, or was it just off for the picture? At any rate, as I said before, beautiful!

      It was just off for the picture. He doesn't "need" it for a couple hours at a time now. We're at 1/8th of a liter of flow now. He's not satting great at night, though, so I'm not sure what's up . . .

      That's great that he is doing so well with the oxygen levels. Hopefully the night time will stabilize soon too. Whatever the case, He knows and has it all under control:) Best wishes to you and your family!

    I do not even know how I stopped up right here, but I assumed this post was once great.

    I do not realize who you might be but definitely you're going to a famous blogger in case you aren't already.
    Cheers!

    I usually check in but don't comment, but that is a great picture of you and the little ones!

    Whenever you ask (and sometimes when you don't) I say a quick prayer for whoever needs it most that day.

    Going to vote now!

    Incredible! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It's on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Great choice of colors!

    Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with
    hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no back up.

    Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
