long time, no blog

ahh been a while since i posted my blog. I guess the most interesting thing i had experienced with Ernie is during the 4th of july weekend. the weekend was one of the most enjoyable moments in which i was able to communicate with my family members about NASCAR and other topics without struggling to understand by lipreading alone. my family members said that they thought ernie really helps communication better. i am still learning and picking up new sounds everyday. I have not really practice the iPod activities lately. I need to commit myself to get back into practicing.
