On December 29, 2011, I became an aunt again when Jace Gary Higham was born! Some of you might know this little guy as "Tate 2: the Movie" which is what Bethany wanted to name him (since his older brother is the original Tate). But despite such helpful name suggestions (including "Shelf" and various other household items), Ben and Jamie decided that "Jace Gary Higham" was THE name. At first, I was puzzled about the "Gary" and really wondered if Ben had taken his Aggie fanhood to a new extreme by naming his kid after Gary Andersen--the Utah State head football coach. But to my relief, "Gary" is after Jamie's father, whose name, it turns out, is actually "Gary." (Who knew? I've called him "Brent" for seven years.) And Jamie's paternal grandfather is also "Gary." And Ben's boss is named Gary. (AND the Aggie football head coach is just incidentally named "Gary" . . .) So basically, they're covering a lot of bases, here. Smart call with the middle name.
Anyway, everything went very well with Jamie's scheduled C-section and out little Jace popped (not to sound too graphic), beautiful and perfect in every way. Mother and child are doing well--they are home and bonding as a new family. Here are some pictures of Jace's first day! 
Isn't he adorable in that little hat? And here is the proud Mama, all beautiful and glowing:
And the happy grandmother:
And the bustin' his buttons grandpa:
And the thrilled aunt (let's just pretend I was having a good hair day, which I wasn't):
And the little man of the hour himself, once again:
Congratulations, Ben and Jamie! We're so thrilled to have Jace in our family!
