Help with grammar

Dear Colleagues,
Somehow in my years of Russian study I overlooked a rather basic grammatical
issue. Consider:
moya syestra ee moy brat ceedyat doma.
If I do not want to use the possessive twice, how do I do it?
a. moee syestra i brat ceedyat doma.
b. moya syestra i brat ceedyat doma.
c. other?
Also, a couple of immigrant students in my high school language class used
the word "eehnii" for "their", instead of just "eeh". I had seen this
before, but don't really know what it's purpose is, i.e. when it is used.
Any help would be appreaciated.
gratefully
Brian Lehmann
