Tonight is my last night here in Arizona. I was just thinking about all the precious things I want to remember about my time here!Ryland's little prance when he does "little" running!
What it feels like to hold Easton's soft little face up against mine!
Ryland wanting to be throw up to the moon by his daddy!
Keri asking Easton if he wants to "play"
Keri showing us how Easton is kissing her!
Ryland hugging and kissing his new baby brother.
The way Ryland says, "Baby Easton"

So so so much more! Well here they again. Two little gifts from God!







Great Grandma Lucy arrived today to see the Doolittles! She made the trip to Phoenix from Lake Havasu. It is about a 3 hour drive. To continue our tradition we made a trip to Taco Bell! 

I feel very blessed to be able to be here and hold and kiss my precious grandsons!
Pre-game today consisted of heading to the hospital. Keri was doing so good she was able to come home. Easton is a champ and was just waiting for mom to get off the injured reserve list so he could come home too. Ryland and I arrived ready for the big game only to find we weren't the only ones ready to cheer.
Of course there was a lot of paperwork to be done so that Easton and Keri could become free agents. While waiting Ryland bonded with his brother and helped with anything that Easton needed even feeding him a bottle. 

Finally Team Doolittle got the all clear and left for home. I had the honor of driving Keri and Easton home and Mark and Ryland took a ride home in Mark's big truck. Home field advantage makes a big difference and it was the consensus that it was so good to be home! We were all very excited to watch the game except Easton. He just wanted to sleep!
The rest of us found our places and waited for the game to begin. It was a pretty tired team but they had been through a lot!
There were snacks and naps and laughs and snuggles! And best off all kisses for the new member of Team Doolittle!

Kurt didn't win today but the Doolittles did! They are home with a two beautiful, healthy sons! They have a wonderful family and are truly blessed! That is what it is all about!!! Go Team Doolittle! As far as the game goes it was a great year for Kurt Warner and the Cardinals! Still a fan that is for sure!


After some visiting and loving Baby Easton Mark got everyone some lunch. He found a pretty special treat for Ryland. The deal was if Ryland ate a good lunch he could have his treat! A Cardinals cookie in honor of the future Super Bowl winners! Yum. Looks good doesn't it!

I am pretty sure that this is the sweetest sound ever. Of course in a few weeks Mark and Keri might not agree but there is just something about a newborn's tender little cry! Click to hear Easton!

When we first arrived at the hospital there were a lot of people in the room. Ryland wasn't quite sure what was going on! He was a bit hesitant to touch his little brother. Once some of the people left he warmed up to this new little person! 

After some time in the recovery room Keri and troops were moved to her regular room. As we left Ryland got to push a button that played a lullaby all throughout the wing. It tells everyone that a new baby has arrived in the world. What a miracle!
Ryland decided he needed a snack. This big brother business is a lot of work! 




Kristin, Jackson (Layne's cousin) and Layne!
Resting with Dad! Just a little difference in the length of the skis!
