Best friends are we...

We have had the pleasure of having some little "extra" people running around our house for the past two days. This little people are our nieces and nephews. Anyway, we have had a lot of fun the last couple of days but probably the best time was when Kaycee and Ellie (both have bilateral microtia) were talking.


Both of them have a moderate hearing loss, both of them had just gotten up from their naps, and neither of them had their hearing aids on.

Here is the scenario:

"Blah, blah, blah..." says Ellie - very loudly.

"Blah, blah, blah..." says Kaycee - also very loudly.

Kaycee: "Yeah!"

Ellie: "Yeah!"

This went on for about 30 minutes - both talking very loudly, a lot of nodding, a lot of "yeah", a lot of jibber jabber. It was adorable!

Kaycee has been home for almost a year, and is 2 - China.

Ellie has been home for less than four months, and is 4 - Ukraine.

Nathan said it was like having the United Nations in our home this weekend...Russia, Ukraine, China and the United States. (I am not completely sure, but I don't think some of these countries are part of the United Nations, but I get what he was saying...)
