Noni Visits

We had a plan.  Cozette was going to fly out before the C-Section and watch Chase while Marcus and I stayed in the hospital.  Ty's early arrival obviously ruined that, but it worked out even better.  Marcus was able to take paternity leave when I was in the hospital and stay home with Chase.  When he came to the hospital, Chase stayed with some of our friends.  Then Cozette came out for a week and a half to help me figure out life with two little ones -- and do more than her share of nighttime feedings.  (Marcus then was able to take the last half of his leave after Cozette left, before my mom comes.  It works out to be three or four weeks with help!  It's been wonderful!)  

While Cozette was here, she took lots of pictures and also played play-doh a ton with Chase.  Here are some of the pictures.

Play-doh was a huge hit -- Chase enjoyed making spiders
