WHEREAS, Marshall Maher is an Austin native who served the Texas Legislature during three legislative sessions; he met Caroline Morgan, a native of Ireland who was raised in Australia, when she visited Austin in 2009 for Christmas; the couple fell deeply in love over the course of a long-distance relationship, and they were married in 2012 in New York City; and

WHEREAS, Their beautiful baby girl was born on February 13, 2017, at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Randwick, Australia; she arrived at 11:05 a.m. and weighed seven pounds and three ounces; and

WHEREAS, Penelope's safe arrival fulfilled her parents' dearest wish, and they are joyful over the birth of their daughter; and

WHEREAS, This blessed event has brought great happiness to Penelope's family, and she has been heartily welcomed into the Morgan-Maher household; it is indeed appropriate that the Texas Senate welcome this precious newborn into the world; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th Legislature, hereby extend congratulations to Caroline Morgan and Marshall Maher on the birth of their daughter Penelope Zara Morgan-Maher and extend to them best wishes for the future; and, be it further
