Update on Crazy Lorenz's

Since Lee is busy doing homework I will do this posting. I think that life gets crazier as the days go on and the holidays get closer so the Lord finds ways to slow us down. One way he did that is that Lee decided to hurt his knee playing football. He has a torn ACL and torn MCL. Now you must remember that the military is very slow. He has had to see the Dr. twice and an MRI before getting referred to Orthopedics and he can't get an appointment until October 19th. As of right now, surgery is a possibility, but we will see. Even though he seems to be walking slower he is still going to the football games to show company support, doing morning PT (Physical Training) but just walking instead of running and working long hours as well as trying to do school work.

On September 25th we took advantage of "Free Museum Day" and took the girls to Fort Discovery Science Museum. It is a little old for the girls but they have one room that is for little kids and they loved it.



Sofi has started one set of Therapy sessions. She is doing really well. They all say that she is really smart and with a little help from Therapy she will be able to overcome the obstacles that she is dealing with now. The big hurdle we are facing with her is still the potty training. It doesn't seem to be going as well as I would have liked, but they tell me autistic children usually don't get trained until around age 4 so we are still ahead of the average. On the other good note for Sofi, she is doing much better then Emma, because Emma is showing no interest at all.

Emma is just keeping herself busy by playing with Sofi as well as teasing each other. The cute thing that Emma does now is she likes to come up to you with her arms open and says "Hugs". It just makes me melt when she does it.

Both girls did have their first visit to the Dentist last week. We went to a pediatric Dentist so it would be a little better for them we thought. I held Emma down and Lee held Sofi down, they weren't too fond of it but the dentist said everything looks good and put fluoride on their teeth. The girls did come away with a bag full of toys and prizes as well as a tooth brush, I wish I had that when I was a kid.

I have also been doing some kind of activity with the girls every day. One day we did finger painting with pudding. Emma loved it and enjoyed eating it. Sofi just liked eating it but once she licked her fingers she had to have them wiped off because she doesn't like her hands dirty. It was fun watching them with the pudding. I took pictures before they were all covered with pudding.



As for myself, I am trying to keep track of appointments for the girls as well as Lee. I am also involved in a lot of volunteer work for the Army and classes that I have to take the next 3 weeks. The good part is the military pays for child care and the girls do good there. It is like going to school for them and now that they are the same age they will be in the same class again. Hopefully this catches you up a little on what has been going on with us this past month.
