R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, April 16, 2003, was a momentous day in the lives of 
Melissa Eiland and Representative Craig Eiland of Galveston, for on 
that day they became the proud parents of two adorable babies when 
Mrs. Eiland gave birth to twins; and
	WHEREAS, Born at The University of Texas Medical Branch at 
Galveston, the darling duo surely were the center of attention 
among staff and patients alike when they made their dramatic debut; 
and
	WHEREAS, William Gray weighed in at 3 pounds, 1 ounce, and was 
the first to arrive, followed by Delaney Paige, at 2 pounds, 12 
ounces; both measured 15-1/2 inches in length; and
	WHEREAS, Blessed with a double dose of charm and simply 
irresistible smiles, William and Delaney have brought boundless joy 
into the hearts of their parents, their big brothers, Blake and 
Tucker, and their grandparents, Gaye Lynn Orebaugh of Houston, 
Duane Orebaugh of Fort Worth, and Paige and Elaine Eiland of 
Stanton; and
	WHEREAS, The birth of a child is always a miraculous event, 
and it is a great pleasure to formally announce the birth of these 
precious new Texans and to honor their delighted parents, siblings, 
and grandparents; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby officially welcome William Gray Eiland and 
Delaney Paige Eiland as new citizens of Texas and extend heartfelt 
congratulations to Melissa Eiland and Representative Craig Eiland 
on the birth of their cherished children; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the Eiland twins and their parents as an expression of 
high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
