Elias Ray Andersen joined us Tuesday, February 11th at 6:30am.  He is a chubby little fellow with a barrel chest and lots of hair, lots of hair for an Andersen/ DeArmoun really.  He sleeps well, eats well and is a constant source of cuddling and kisses for the rest of us.  Milo has taken to him in a huge way, sharing blankets, toys and hugs.

Milo meeting his baby brother for the first time.

Dad meeting his son at the birth center.

Grandma and her boys.

The whole crazy group of boys.

Now that it is cold and dark here in Anchorage keeping Milo busy has been the name of the game.  We joined a group of friends in Girdwood for a weekend and took the kids skiing for the first time.  A group of 4 two year olds on skiis for the first time was great, watching all the new parents run around and take photos like fools was just as entertaining.  When did we all loose our cool? Milo loved skiing and now has himself a set of skiis and rides the chairlift with his dad.



Another past time is swimming and with the addition of awesome swim cap and googles he is all set, thanks to Aunt Bonnie his gear consultant.

Grandma Becky is in town awaiting the impending arrival of number two and she has given Milo quite a time.  They bake, they play outside in the snow, they are so busy.
