Gwen Wren is broadening her horizons up here in New Hampshire. Quite literally in this case. Yesterday was our wedding anniversary, and to celebrate Rachel and I decided to go for a nice hike. We went to an area called The Rattlesnakes, which, though it sounds ominous, was actually quite serene. We didn't see any snakes whatsoever, but we did see several woodpeckers, quite a few thrushes, and one warbler.
And of course, one Wren.
Carrying Gwen Wren in the Baby Bjorn is conducive to father-daughter bonding. Standing atop a granite boulder, overlooking Squam Lake, we together contemplated the immensity of life. Or I did, anyway. The Wren might have been contemplating her next meal, or maybe just looking at my shirt. But we bonded nonetheless.
Having expanded our horizons to our satisfaction, Gwendolyn and I rejoined Rachel for a group photo. Immensity is good and all, but so too is the cozy intimacy of our family.
And of course, one Wren.

Happy Anniversary, you two!! May you continue to find heart rock after heart rock.
What a lovely anniversary story! I remember climbing Rattlesnake many years ago -- gorgeous view, and no rattlesnakes.
