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

Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland

A couple of days ago when it iced over we came about as close to being a winter wonderland as we ever do in Texas (although last year on Christmas Day it snowed!). David, nonetheless, was very keen to go outside. Lacking gloves for his cold little hands, we shoved him into a full-coverage fluffy suit with inexplicable bear ears and built-in mittens. It worked pretty well! Will wanted to try, too, but  he couldn't make it off the porch. He fell down and "lay there like a slug. It was his only defense." [If you haven't seen the movie A Christmas Story, you'll have no idea what I'm talking about!]

Our poor sweet helper is hiding :)
David is a little man who HAS to walk/run/move

    David might like to visit Finland during the winter time. He is a good sport! Keep going buddy!
    Happy Thanksgiving You all! Always makes my day reading what's up in your end.

    Inexplicable bear ears?? They're adorable, that's the only explanation you need> :)

    Bear ears on a striped suit look crazy, but they are cute anyway!

      Isn't the transformation incredible?? Seth wore one of the shirts you bought the boys - it's one of my favorites "Mommy's Little Rascal" I frequently match them in those when we go out. :) Love, Carrie
