“We all went home during the Fourth of July break to celebrate a birthday, the birthday of our great Nation. We gathered with family and friends. We set off fireworks. Some Members were in parades. It was all about a birthday, the birthday of this great Nation. My wife Suzanne and I were also home in Idaho because of other birthdays. On May 31 of this year, our daughter Shae and her husband David had twins. Two new grandchildren entered both Suzanne's and my life, a boy and a girl, born on May 31. The little boy's name is Drew Calvin Howell and he weighed 5 pounds and 3 ounces. His sister, I am sure always to be called the little sister, is Peyton Shae Howell, and she was born at 11:54. Drew was born at 11:32. She weighed 4 pounds and 1 ounce. They are twins and were premature so they stayed the first 3 weeks of their lives in intensive care in a Boise hospital before they were allowed to come home. Here we are, Fourth of July, and they are really home for the first time. It is the first time grandpa had a chance to hold them and love them and see them and be around them.”
