Newborn Ellie Tollakson just couldn’t wait to join the family when she was born at home Aug. 4. Ellie arrived before the midwife did and was delivered by her father, Alan Tollakson. Also shown in this photo taken Tuesday at the Tollaksons’ home are, from left, Ellie’s mother, Deirdre, her 4-year-old sister, Anya, and, at right, family friend Shari Sippola, who helped with the delivery.
