Sarah's Parents Arrive!

Sarah's parents, Andreas and Andrea Muehlberger, joined the Freise family this weekend. They brought mommy some French wine and daddy some beer made near their house, and Maddie some cool toys which she plays with here:

Pigtails!

Sarah took this picture this morning and emailed it to mommy at work. It was so cute, it had to go up on the blog!

Maddie at Reddington Beach Park (she was MAD when we left and wanted to keep swinging!)...

A Bird Sanctuary near Indian Shores first thing this morning...

We woke up to a cloudy, chilly day. We headed to Clearwater after the bird watching and swinging to have lunch with Pappy. It was hot and sunny! We headed home and while Maddie napped, enjoyed some time at the pool. We woke Maddie at 4:20 - just in time for the clouds to roll back in. Oh well! She didn't seem to care and couldn't get enough of walking near the pool and on the beach, despite needing her boots, sweater AND Fall jacket. Brrrrrrr...it got cold!
