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

Sweet Seth and Gracie. He was so gentle while patting her. They love each other.


Doesn't Seth look like Jim Craig from the movie "Man from Snowy River" in Gavin's Aussie hat?
I love how he's holding onto the little rings like they're his reigns.

In their birthday onesies watching Baby Einstein (so we could get a decent picture of the fussy ones).
Thanks to Lynn for the onesies and the table!

This is a picture of a small part of the view from the back deck where we're staying in the Ozarks.
Marcie is asleep in the back of the stroller following a walk with her daddy.
We love "Paradise Nest"; thanks to Noel and Pam Horneck! It's so peaceful and beautiful here. The mists in the morning and the sunsets in the evening are mesmerizing over the wooded hills. www.paradisenest.net

  2. Happy Birthday to all of them! My family found your blog a year ago when they made the news and we've been reading it ever since. I just looked at their birth announcement post and its amazing to see how much they've changed and grown in just a year! Our faithful God truly answers prayer! I pray that each of your children will grow to love and serve their Creator their whole life long.

    1. Thank you for praying, and what a wonderful prayer indeed! It is certainly ours as well. Love in Christ, Carrie (using my mom's computer)

  3. You didn't even mention what it's like to get your whole family ready to be away from home. Lol. I have a family of 7. It's hard to do, but our 5 kids are spaced out quite a bit, so there's a lot of help! I've been following since someone told me about you. It was back when the quints were born. I look forward to the updates!

    Didn't "they" say that the first year is the hardest? Lol

  7. Oh! I praise God with you over your beautiful family. Love that Aussie hat on the kids. I think you should definitely get one for everyone and then take a picture with the whole family in Aussie hats. : ). Happy birthday babies!! -Elise
