                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB ETHERIDGE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 5, 2007

  Mr. ETHERIDGE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Matt and 
Jennifer Allen on the birth of their child, Dyan Wade Allen. Dyan was 
born on Tuesday, August 7, 2007, and weighed 6 pounds and 12 ounces. My 
wife Faye joins me in wishing Matt and Jennifer great happiness upon 
this new addition to their family.
  As the father of three, I know the joy and pride that Matt and 
Jennifer feel at this special time. Children remind us of the 
incredible miracle of life, and they keep us young-at-heart. Every day, 
they show us a new way to view the world. I know the Allens look 
forward to the changes and challenges that their new son will bring to 
their lives while taking pleasure in the many rewards they are sure to 
receive as they watch him grow.
  I welcome young Dyan into the world and wish Matt and Jennifer all 
the best as they raise him.
