                           ROWAN ANTON CRAIG

  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, I rise to let my fellow Senators know of a 
very happy addition to my family.
  On December 22, at 3:05 in the afternoon, my daughter-in-law, 
Stephanie Craig, with the help of her husband, our son Michael, and our 
grandson Aidan, gave birth to our newest grandchild, a beautiful baby 
boy named Rowan Anton Craig. He came in bigger than his older brother 
at 8 pounds, 9 ounces and 21 inches long.
  At 3:15 that same afternoon, my wife Suzanne and I watched our new 
grandbaby being weighed and measured and swaddled, and we got to hold 
this bundle of life. What a thrill to be there in the first few minutes 
of his life.
  His middle name, Anton, comes from his great-grandfather on his 
mother's side of the family. Anton was the patron saint of animals, so 
we expect to share with him our love of animals, along with many other 
experiences.
  Let me thank my colleagues for your indulgence in letting me share 
with all of you one of the most unique experiences in my life, a 
wonderful Christmas present: a new grandchild in our family.
