Scott,
Good to see pictures of Maddie again. Seeing her playing in the snow brings back my childhood memories of interacting with winter snow. For an urban Boston kid it's surprising what the city offered gratis for childrens’ winter pleasure. Certain hilly streets were closed off to through traffic so we could sled down the snow packed streets When the surface was icy it was thrilling, but dangerous.
I lived in Roxbury near Franklin Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, The city built a wooden toboggan slide in 1903. It was within a public golf course on schoolmasters hill, named after Ralph Waldo Emerson.

When the time is right, I’d love to see Maddie portrait done in the spirit of the recent one you made for Braedan’s birthday.
