We went to Universal the second day. We met Chris, Amber, Tristan, and Addison there. This was Tristan and Addison's Christmas gift. Nola was happy to see them there!</div>

The kids then sang Santa some Christmas songs. The MOSD Christmas party was a bittersweet time for me. This was Nola's last Christmas celebration at Memphis Oral School for the Deaf. I wasn't sure how I was going to handle graduation in May!</div>

I turned the big 3-0 in October. Jonathan's not much for throwing parties so he asked me where I wanted to go instead. My fall break fell on my birthday so off to the beach we went! I LOVE the beach no matter what time of year! Andy and Deanna went with us and we had a great time! I would've stayed forever!</div>

It started as a way to let everyone see Nola growing up and to let others who may be traveling the same journey we have. As the years have passed, we have added a sweet boy to the mix. Life is still crazy, but Nola's medical issues seem to have leveled out. Nola hasn't' had a surgery in over 2 years! Whoo hoo! I will try to be better at blogging this year- my master's program will be over in May and I will have a little break before I start my Ed.S.<br />
I have alot of catching up to do!<br />

Silas was only 1 week old at the time. I am so thankful my parents could take Nola to her dress rehearsal and Mama took her backstage when it was time to line up for her dances. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nola is taking dance again this year, but we moved to another studio. We are know at Joy McDaniel Dance in Arlington and I think this studio is a much better fit for us! Nola and her crew will be in the Arlington Christmas Parade on December 1!</div>

It seems like yesterday we found out we were having a sweet baby girl and now look at her- she is turning 5 tomorrow! I cannot believe how fast the years have flown by and it makes me teary to think about all that she has gone through in her short five years. She has proven to be such a fighter and taken everything in stride. What an awesome little girl we have! <br />

What a blessing you have been to us! You have been through so much yet have developed into such a feisty ball of personality. Mommy and Daddy love you to the bottom of our hearts and back. We are so thankful to have such a beautiful, healthy little girl. You are such a fantastic bug sister to Silas and we can already tell how he looks up to you. His face lights up when you talk to him and call him "baby boy." Happy Birthday! </div>

<br />Nola's Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17033661378724487038noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694820465921275856.post-60828036351268820762012-09-29T20:44:00.002-07:002012-09-29T20:44:21.284-07:00Crazy.....The adjective that would describe my life at the moment.<br />
This is Nola's last year a MOSD. I try not to think about it, but every event that happens at school I find my self thinking "this is the last time." I am terrified of her going to kindergarten; I know she will be ready and will do great, but the thought makes me a nervous wreck. Nola has started dance with a new company in Arlington. I like this studio much better than the other. October 1 is observation day and I am excited to see her in her new class. She loves dance and going to see her "new friends."<br />
I am back at school and stressed out, but that is a whole other post by itself. Grad school has started back too. I still have a 4.0! :) Only 3 more classes to go!<br />
Silas is growing like a weed! He is four months old and I cannot believe it! Sunday, September 23, Silas rolled over from his belly to his back! He goes to bed around 8 and sleeps through the night! He still eats every three hours and is eating anywhere from 4 to 5 ounces at a time. We tried oatmeal cereal and he acted as if I had put mud in his mouth. He made bitter beer face!! haha!! We will try it again later. Silas stays with Aunt Ber and is spoiled all day.<br />
I am pulled in a thousand directions and feel like no one gets a hundred percent of me. All of my roles- wife, mommy, teacher, etc- are important and I don't want to neglect any of them. I need to win the lottery so that I can stay home! :)<br />
<br />
Nola's birthday party is next week! Look for pictures! I hope to be better at blogging, but that is just something else on my to do list that doesn't get done.<br />

Nola and Mrs. Ginger- Abbey, Ginger's daughter, is also deaf and has bi-lateral cochlear implants like Nola. Abbey is a freshman in high school and is doing absolutely fantastic! Abbey is a prime example of how successful deaf children can be with caring parents and a great foundation at MOSD!</div>

Oh how life has changed! I suppose I had forgotten what having a baby is like since Nola is almost 5! Silas has been a good baby. He is always eating so since I am nursing that means I have a baby attached to me most of the day. :) </div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Things in the Bawcum household have changed! Silas is an alert baby and is the object of his big sister's affection. Nola has been such a great helper and I am trying to make sure she gets one on one attention as well. The nighttime is rough for me since I am breastfeeding- so I'm the only one who can feed the little guy at this point. He likes to eat! </span>

We are so thankful for friends that are willing to throw great baby showers for Silas. The first shower was done by my childhood friends Heather and April in Henderson. Unfortunately, NONE of us had a camera! Good grief! They catered to the Mexican cravings I had for the food theme! Yummo!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also had a diapers and wipes shower at school given by Ms. Dowdy, Ms. KAKB, and Ms. Bryson. I am thankful for great teacher friends! We have tons of diapers and wipes! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually remembered my camera for the shower thrown by Andy and Deanna! They are Nola's Godparents and our great friends!</div>

Can't wait to meet this little guy and introduce him to his Super Big Sister!Nola's Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17033661378724487038noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694820465921275856.post-39122741837648637202012-04-18T08:38:00.004-07:002012-04-18T08:38:59.677-07:005 yearsFive years ago today I was pregnant with a sweet baby girl.<br />
Five years ago today I was finishing up my student teaching.<br />
Five years ago today I lost a great woman- My Grandmother.<br />
<br />
She lived a great example of what a strong, giving woman is. Some of the best memories I have are those with her. I miss her everyday. We named that sweet baby girl Nola. I am grateful and honored to be able to have named my daughter after my Grandmother. My Nola has already shown the strength and determination my Grandmother had. Jonathan and I chose the right name.<br />
<br />
Now five years later I am pregnant with a sweet baby boy.<br />
Five years later I am teaching.<br />
Five years later I still grieve for the woman I lost.<br />
<br />
I love you Grandmother.Nola's Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17033661378724487038noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694820465921275856.post-7415392709289286982012-04-06T13:09:00.003-07:002012-04-06T13:40:48.586-07:00Fun at the Beach Part 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ahh, Cape Sand Blas - Our new favorite beach. It is Florida's "Forgotten Coast." We loved it- not commercialized - no souvenir shops every three feet, no crowded beaches, basically we had the beach to ourselves! This was perfect for us- our last getaway before we become a family of four. </div>

Baby Silas is getting bigger everyday! There are so many things we have to do before he gets here. The nursery is still nonexistent- it still has to be painted. Then we can put the crib together, etc. I am getting very anxious that everything won't be done before he makes his appearance.</div>Nola's Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17033661378724487038noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694820465921275856.post-61625276271757788732012-03-21T18:54:00.002-07:002012-03-21T18:54:21.959-07:00Speak Easy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
