This Week at the Connell's

So I haven't been able to post as much with Alex's mystery issues lately, but life has certainly not slowed down at the Connell house. Last week we added two new members to Alex's care team which has been awesome, he is learning a ton!  It was tough to admit that we needed help when one parent has to be alone with both kiddos, but everyone is safer and less stressed now! Dr. Fetus Face never called me back, so I called a real doctor and got all the blood work ordered that should have been done in the first place. Hopefully we'll get those test results this week!

We Also gave Alex a much needed haircut.  Here's some before and after pictures:

Lyra and Alex have been coloring all over the place, including on each other... I think Lyra wants to be a tattoo artist when she grows up.  She even drew a mustache on her dear brother.

We added some tiny new members to the brood, 10 caterpillars! We purchased one of those butterfly kits at a thrift store and sent off for our caterpillars earlier this summer. They have finally arrived and formed their chrysalises!  Alex loves watching butterflies hatch so we are excited to raise them together as a summer family project.  Once they hatch we will release them in our yard.
