What does an East Tennessee family do in South Dakota??

We are about to find out! In just 3 days, we are packing up the camper, tying down the hatches to the pick-up, and heading to the wild, wild west (well, maybe the midwest)!! This 16-day adventure will be the longest camping trip (and farthest) that we've ever taken....so deep breath....here we go....
It has been over a year since I have updated the blog. It has been a year of devastating medical diagnosis for Nathan, but also of great healing. God tells us to trust Him, but sometimes circumstances can shoot holes in our faith. But He is faithful, even when our faith is failing. Nathan is truly a miracle and is doing great and continues to progress with his multiple therapies.  He has the sweetest personality on the planet (not to mention he's pretty darn cute!).  Yet, it has also been a great year of laughter and fun. God's gifts.  I'm reminded of one of our favorite Erica quotes when she said, "ok everyone, act like we are a normal family!" which is a stretch for the Irwins! We use that quote quite often. 
We thank you for your interest in our family adventures and invite you to follow along as we embark on the Griswold Irwin family vacation of 2011...

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2
