                      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 3, 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.
