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

And now we are SIX!

Birthday morning excitement in Dallas!

Seth opens his red tour bus from Glacier National Park - the kids loved seeing those buses!

The kids in their new birthday costumes with the doctors who delivered them (minus Dr. Lo, who was on call)
They're sitting in birth order: Will, David, Marcie, Seth and Gracie, with Dr. Santiago next to Will (she's the one who did the actual cutting and pulling!), and Dr. Horsager next to Gracie (she's the one who helped me labor until the epidural and spinal anesthesia could take effect, assisted Dr. Santiago, and is the head of the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Department at UT Southwestern/St. Paul's). 

The kids admire their mishmash of a cake (thanks to Grandpadad and Costco)

We sang "Happy Birthday" to each child individually, because no one should have to share their birthday song!
We just kept relighting six candles until everyone had had their turn.

On the stage at the Pilgrim Chapel at Dallas Baptist University, where we had a fun tour on Friday!
