I have a new niece! Ella Dayne Rittmaster was born yesterday morning, October 4, 2009. She weighed 7.5 pounds and was 20 inches long. Mom and baby are doing great – Matt says that Sarah and Ella might even be able to come home from the hospital today. Mikaela and Jonathan are excited to meet their new cousin (even if Mikaela was a little miffed when she found out that Ella would be a girl, because she was “the only one who had to have a brother.”).
Ella shares her birthday with United States President Rutherford B. Hayes (1822); comedian Buster Keaton (1895); and actress Alicia Silverstone (1976).
On Ella’s birthday in 1648, Peter Stuyvesant established the first volunteer fire department in America; in 1824 Mexico became a Republic; and in 1957 “Leave it to Beaver” premiered on CBS.
