Introducing Miss Olivia Frances Thi Munn!!!!
We are absolutely elated to share our first pictures of our daughter with you! We received "THE CALL" this morning jut after nine a.m. from our angelic social worker, Kimberly Alls that we have a referral!!! After hearing about her, I woke Mike up to tell him. We are BEYOND excited!!! After reading her information, we called our social worker back to tell her YES (which we had already done in the first call, but darn protocol says we have to read her paperwork first!) Then she emailed us her pictures. This is the first time we've seen our daughter's face! She's absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! Breathtaking!!!! We are IN LOVE!!!! She was born June 22, 2004. Mike has already dubbed her his Little Junebug. Jake calls her V. I've taken to calling her Livi lately. Regardless of her name, WE LOVE HER!!!! We can't wait to bring her home. The wait for travel clearance will be 3 to 6 months. Without going into ridiculous detail, the reason for the delay is sending paperwork back and forth between the US and Vietnam and between Hanoi and her orphanage. We have been praying for months for Olivia to be home by this Christmas, so please please pray with us for her to be home soon! We so desperately want to have our little girl in our arms where she belongs. She has a Mommy, Daddy and big brother who can't wait for her to come home! I should also probably mention she has grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends who want her home ASAP, too!!!
Hurry home Olivia! We love you so much!!!

We love her already! She is a little beauty. Can't wait to hold her. Lana has always had a bit of an Asian look. They will be cute together. Even cuter will be to see her with big brother, Jake.

We are happy for you and pray you will meet her soon.

Love, Aunt Judith and Uncle Jimmie
