Meet Miss Quinn (and blog hello to the fabulous Miss Kate)!
Quinn entered the world almost 2 months ago! Her Mommy is my good friend Kristen (also the Mommy of Jack and Kate). All I can say is that Quinn is a cutie pie and Hannah was smitten from the very beginning. She and I fought over who was going to hold Quinn first. She wanted to "pet" the baby, hold the baby, and if Hannah could breastfeed, she would have fed the baby too! Hannah and I spent an afternoon with the Turpin clan and had the best time. We ate lunch, made ghost feet prints, and got some love from Kate and Quinn. Speaking of Miss Kate. I just love her. She has the cutest, most excited way of saying my name, "Traaaacyyyyyyyyy". She's very excited to say "Tracy"......I'm very excited to see Kate too!
Hello, blog, it's Tracy.
I cannot believe how much of a blog slacker I have been. I'm so ashamed. Life certainly got 100x's more busy since school started. My work life has taken over every ounce of free time I have. It's quite sad that I'm "that" mom that is struggling with balancing work, home, Hannah time, Richard time, running, social time, and finally Tracy time. I read about "those" mom's in magazines, in my online mom's group, see news stories about them, and here I am.....THAT mom that is juggling every ball and trying really really hard to not drop any of them. So, I'm sorry blog for not updating you more often and SORRY to my family and friends (especially those with newborn cuties) that I haven't been a very good friend lately. Now, on to massive blog updating!

Cupcake Theme Birthday Party
I'm proud and glad to say the 3rd Birthday Cupcake Theme party was fabulous! We shared it with friends and family from all areas of our life that's know us and Hannah since she was born. Anyone that knows me knows that birthdays (and Halloween) are my favorite holidays. I love to pick a theme and carry it all of the way. This year I chose a "cupcake pink and brown" theme for Hannah's birthday party. Who knew the world of cupcakes and cupcake accessories exploded since the time I had cupcake parties as a kid?! Holy moly. It was really hard to not go overboard with the cupcake glory of http://www.etsy.com/ or Wilton! I had a great time picking out the paper for the cupcake wrappers and cupcake toppers. Regardless, Hannah (and everyone) and a great time. The cupcakes were delicious even down to the last crumb!
Happy 3rd Birthday, Hannah!

Happy Birthday, Jack!
I couldn't let the day go by without saying, "Happy Birthday to JACK!" Jack was Hannah's first boyfriend and we will always celebrate August 14th as JACK! day. We'll eat a red velvet cupcake, visit his bench, and do something unexpected and nice for someone else today as a tribute to the something nice that JACK! did for us......he made us realize that life should not be taken for granted, that it's a gift we're given, and that we much "laugh harder". Kristen (Jack's mom) posted the tribute video on her blog and as I'm watching it, Hannah ran to see what I'm watching on the computer. She knew right away who it was. She yelled, "JACK!". I'm so grateful that she remembers him. It was so sweet watching her watch the video that I had to record her. I told her today was Jack's birthday and she began singing him "Happy Birthday". Tears flowed.......smiles....and tears. Happy Birthday JACK! Thank you for reminding us of how precious life is. The red velvet cupcakes are on me today, my treat, in memory of you.
