H.R. No. 2411

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, The birth of Sophia Renee Winder to David and Renee Winder of Midland, Michigan, on April 30, 2008, represented a joyous and miraculous occasion; and

WHEREAS, Making her way into the world at 10:35 a.m. on that special day, Sophia weighed in at 9 pounds, 6 ounces, measured 20-1/2 inches in length, and immediately captivated her parents with her alert and inquisitive manner; and

WHEREAS, Blessed with a beautiful smile and an outgoing personality, this charming baby girl has already brightened the lives of everyone around her, including her big sister, Saje, and her doting grandparents, John and Linda Winder of Angleton and Cindy Carter of Garland; and

WHEREAS, Although Sophia Renee Winder missed the opportunity to be born in the Lone Star State because her father, a seventh-generation Texan, had been transferred to Michigan by his employer, her parents immediately put a Texas flag blanket in her bassinet and are strongly committed to teaching her all about her Texas heritage and the state's rich history; and

WHEREAS, Sophia Renee Winder was born into a wonderful, close-knit family who will continue to love and cherish her and guide her throughout the fascinating journey of her life; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas Legislature hereby commemorate the birth of Sophia Renee Winder and extend sincere congratulations to David and Renee Winder on their new daughter; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for the family as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
