So worth it!

Went out for a mountain bike ride today - first one of the season!  And an early season it is :)  I wasn't sure what kind of conditions I would find - thankfully they weren't bad at all, just a little bit of mud between areas of firm snow and dry singletrack - These are the best mtb conditions I've seen this year!
It felt soo nice to be in the woods and on two wheels again, there is something in the experience that is incredibly therapeutic for me.


It's been a long time since I last posted to this blog, but I am excited to write that Wynn is the most awesome 1 year old.  Ever.  She celebrated her 1st birthday this week with a full house of friends and family and the largest platter of sticky buns ever!
Her MG and Grammy from Pennsylvania made the 10 hour trek to be with us even :)
MG and Vovo Louco gave Wynn her very own Piano for her birthday, Vovo watched her open the package via Skype.
Wynn somehow got huge in the last year, which went by without us hardly noticing. We often let her roam the house in the buff.  Last night, all within one hour, she managed to pee 4 times on the floor, poop once, and then pull the poop out of the toilet and onto the floor and all over herself... teach us to flush more often!  Needless to say, she headed immediately upstairs to the bathtub.
Now that she is 1 year old, and since she has been over the min. 20 lb. limit for a while now, she is able to sit forward facing in the car!!!  This has already proved to be the most effective happy-baby-in-the-car step we've ever taken - phewww!  
Our first long trip was to Camden, ME, where we picked up a FREE piano:
Wow!  What a find, this is a 1948 Baldwin Acrosonic, it cost $1000 when first purchased and after a professional tuning it plays just like new again!  From what we can tell it looks like it was last tuned in 1958!  We are incredibly grateful to the family that passed it on to us :)
We also had time while we were there to hike in Camden Hills State Park with the Gerbi family.  It was an awesome day, probably near 60 degF in many areas and not a cloud in the sky.  
We decided that with her new found 1 year old super abilities Wynn would be ready to start learning about physics.  Her first lesson was on static electricity.
She then wrote a research paper about her findings.
