McDonnell Girls
The McDonnell girls have been captured
in a split second since there is no time when they are
still. The younger sister, Madeline, pigtails flying,
her little feet still baffled by the intricacies of
walking, is nearly lost within her volumnous pink dress.
She has no concern for such things, there is so much
to see and do. Meredith barely notices her, lost in
her own play, her graceful arm extended as she reaches
out for more, more, more of whatever this life may be.
She is poised and ready, a thinker and a doer.
