The Zitter and Weiss families came to visit us in Phoenix in hopes of getting a glimpse of little Ellie. They arrived on our due date (the 19th) and departed the morning of the 23rd. They did what they could to encourage her to come out, we walked a lot and ate some spicy food but at last, she did not appear until the 24th:)
Here are a few pics from their visit:

(Willem's new best friend Lisa, she played trains and watched oogles of train videos on youtube with him, we hope she returns soon:)
Just had to throw this one in because it was too cute! We think Willem is trying to imitate Oom Rik, for a few days he insisted on having his sunglasses, boy shoes and backpack with him in order to leave the house. He made a gift sack he'd received into his backpack and was happy as a clam. This is a picture of what he wore to the grocery store one day.
The day before Ellie was born, Willem woke up and asked to make a Birthday Cake. Our doula had suggested making a birthday cake during early labor as a way to celebrate the new addition to our family and prepare for her arrival. So it seems as though Willem had a strong intuition about what was going on... So the morning before Ellie was born, Grandma, Willem and I set out to make a birthday cake. 
And of course we had to taste it after all that hard work...
