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

Quick update Wednesday night

"I never catch up," I just told Gavin, as I put away clothes, medicine, laundry, food, etc., etc., etc. I bet most moms feel that way; maybe EVERYONE feels that way?! And I have so much more help than anyone I know! I am so very, very grateful for every one of you who has helped in the past or still helps in any capacity. You are needed and incredibly appreciated! Aunt Pam was the huge help tonight. Look at what she has to go through to get Will dressed:




My mom just had to give up the struggle with Will the other night. It was impossible. I remember reading somewhere that you're not ready to have kids until you can dress a live octopus.

Conversely, here's sweet, docile little Gracie, who bounces her way happily through life. She was all cozied up to go out on a cool night with her "bestie," Megan. ["Bestie" means "best friend," Aunt Shirley.]


Naomi, our babysitter, took these darling pictures of Seth and Grace:




And of Aunt Deb, who came to visit following lots of hard work and recovery after her knee surgery! Hooray! David was excited!

    Isn't it amazing that they can have toys with all the bells and whistles and they end up playing with a stick! When my first one was born I picked Christmas presents that were educational, bright and noisy when the last 2 came around I picked toys based on how big the boxes were because that's what they played with most! LOL

      And when you outlaw guns every stick becomes a gun or sword! :)
