Exciting news as our family of three becomes 5 .... with the recent allocation of our little boys! We will prayerfully go and pick them up some time in August/September.

That means that this blog will no longer continue in it's current form -- as we have to little boys that need to be covered as well! But please feel free to view the ongoing musings of our family blog ... the Walters Tribe .....

Filipino Adoption Camp Weekend






The girls gang .... these girls are great mates!












Lea has her own bike, but found riding with Andrea was a lot more fun!











Lea and Andrea had great fun together.















Our camp site ... testing out the new tent.











Lea and Daddy playing in the water. She is becoming a real fish.

A Study in Laughter! :)

A LOVELY GERROA WEEKEND!!!

We had a chance to catch up with our friends the Nauta's who brought home their three "little boys" from the Philippines October 2008. We had a blast!

Everyone! Left to Right: Scott, Maggie, Lea, Andy, Donna (behind), Robbie, Russel and Ron.

Lea and Andy on the jumping pillow.

The obligatory "beach babe" photo.

Lea truly discovered her capacity to be a big sister! ( or Ate as they say in the PI). Here she is trying to comfort little Russel .... Andy isn't quite sure what to make of someone else doing his job ... so he decides to cuddle up and help Lea out!

I love this shot .... Robbie, Russel, Lea and Andy.

A true "Ate" pose!

Lea in her tree climbing shot!

My First Day at Big School!

Mum and Dad say I need to eat a good breakfast before going to school. I got to use my new plates to celebrate starting big school!

















My first day uniform. Hat, shoes, backpack .... can you tell I'm ready to go????

















Mum loves this shot. Not sure why .... just do!



















And here I am at school! I even have a name tag next to the peg i get to hang my back pack on! I'm a big girl now!

Feeling just a little worried about standing next to a flower the size of my head! How big are the bee's going to be that pollinate this thing.

Angel.

Yay Christmas 2008.

Dad got polar bear poo... Nuts in white chocolate.


And I got this great T-Shirt and heaps of other stuff too.
















To say I like opening presents is probably a little bit of an understatement.

Dad was a bit ticked when the tree limb went in a wind storm, buckled the facia on the roof and everything...

Camping / Music and Water Time!

We went camping with some other families and Lea had a grand time!

Okay ... so the guitar is just a little bit too big ... but she is already showing her natural abilities!

Never let it be said that Lea doesn't absolutely LOVE the water! This is her almost "jamaica man" shot . Mum is ever so proud of her braids!

A rare and quiet contemplative moment away from the crowd ...
