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

Rewind to California and Oregon

Our last few weeks in the USA were a huge blessing as we got to have sweet, fun times with Gavin's whole family, first in the Central Valley and Sierra Nevada of CA, then in Oregon. We all celebrated his parents 50th wedding anniversary at Mt. Hood. It was incredibly beautiful and relaxing, not least because older cousin Lisi entertained and watched and cared for our kids! :)



At June Lake, our first few days in CA.


In Marmi's playhouse in the back yard. Gracie and Marcie were such little homemakers, even WANTING to wash the dishes and plastic fruits and veggies!
Slippery Slides at Camp Sierra

Replacing the toilet at the cabin :)

Raft and water cannons at the swimming hole. It was way too cold to actually swim.

Doing the annual growth measurements on the wall. All the family has their names on the wall from the time they were tiny infants and had to be propped up against it!

Dancing around the 4th of July "mini volcano" fireworks. 

Cousins!!

More cousins! And aunts and uncles! And of course the grandparents.

A fun day on the slopes of Mt. Hood
Grown-ups ready to race on the "real" go-carts.

Marcie REALLY got into the bungee trampoline and back-flipping


Coloring with Lisi

Morning at the river

Happy (early) 42nd birthday, Gavin! The day before we left for PNG.
