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

Merry Christmas!

It's officially 6 minutes into Christmas Day as I write this. My amazing volunteer, Barbara, is just now emerging from the nursery; God bless you, Barb!

Some pictures we took a few days ago; Seth's will follow tomorrow, I hope!

We will probably never get a picture of our whole family posed right and looking the right direction.
Plus, Isaac was in Iowa and Seth is at Children's.
Left to right: Gavin, Will, David, Marcie (the least happy to be stuffed in a stocking), and Grace

These two pictures (above, below) seem very Norman Rockwell-esque to me.
Everyone is doing something different, with very varied expressions.
That's a yawn from Marcie, not a scream, thankfully!
Will and David - don't you love Will's fat belly? He did NOT fit in his Dollar Store stocking!
David looks a bit scared by Marcie, who in turn looks shocked/scared by something off camera
Marcie was definitely not into this photo shoot. Grace was a content little princess who looks VERY much like a Peterson, I think! (Do the other Peterson's/Heisler's agree?)
The whole adorable home crew. We are blessed! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

  1. A very blessed Christmas. I had the feeling that David was looking in the direction of Marcie and Grace with the thought, "They are going to be trouble for us, Will".
    All the pictures are just wonderful. So great to See Ken and Courtney.
    Love you all.

  7. I love the pictures in their stockings:-) I have identical twin brothers that were born 11/17/65. They weighed 3lbs 11oz and 4lbs 3oz when they were born. We took pictures of them in their Christmas stockings too:-)
