NEW PICTURES!!!

We were so excited this morning when our social worker, Kimberly, called us to say she was emailing us lots of new pictures of Olivia! We received 9 in all and will be receiving a VIDEO of her next week!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so incredibly excited about getting a video of our sweet girl! The director of the Vietnam program, Jynger, has been in Vietnam for the last two weeks with the first two families from our agency to pick their children up. They have had some INS problems and are having to stay over another week. Please be in prayer for them and their families as one family and Jynger have left their small children at home in the states and are missing them terribly. Whether or not to take Jake with us to Vietnam has been such a huge struggle. We still haven't decided for sure yet. I just can't imagine being away from him for two weeks much less three. I also worry a great deal about taking Jake to a 3rd world country and not having enough attention to go around for him and our new daughter, who definitely deserves our undivided attention for at least the first couple of weeks. Attachment is a very serious issue especially considering Olivia is already over 2 years old. It's incredibly important that she bond with us early. It will be difficult to give her 100% attention with Jake there also. Oh all the decisions are frustrating!

Anyway, here are some of the new pictures of Olivia. We hope you enjoy them. They have definitely brightened up our day!
