  Mr. GRAVES of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to celebrate 
the birth of Melia Enne Woodward. Melia was born on Friday, September 
10, 2010, to her proud parents, Ryan and Kristin Woodward of Fruita, 
Colorado. Melia entered the world at 12:32 p.m. at St. Mary's Hospital 
in Grand Junction, Colorado, weighing a healthy 7 lbs. 0.7 oz. and 19.5 
inches long. Melia also joins her sister, Elliana Kaye Woodward.
  Melia also has proud grandparents, Susan Kaye Tanner of Laramie, 
Wyoming, Cheryl Farmer of Sidney, Nebraska, as well as Bruce Woodward 
of Maryville, Missouri, to spoil her. Also looking after her from 
heaven is the late Darrell Earnest Hall of Sidney, Nebraska. Melia is 
also the nephew of Travis and Sarah Woodward of Kansas City, Missouri, 
Nathan Woodward of Maryville, Missouri, Sarah Hall of Grand Junction, 
Colorado, Zach Hall and Zane Hall both of Sidney, Nebraska.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in celebrating the birth 
of Melia Enne Woodward. I see great things in Melia's future 
considering her parents' and grandparents' great emphasis on family 
values, service and patriotism.
  I wish Melia the best life has to offer.
