Celebrating 2008, The Year of Invisible Posts — It’s Not Your Eyes
Welcome to the Brookston family blog. We'll post updates here on what's going on in our part of the world, and especially with our son, Porter, who has been diagnosed with some form of autism. Our hope is that this blog will help us deal with all the issues we'll be facing and keep our friends and family informed as well.

Pooltime
In the late afternoon we asked Porter if he’d like to go for a swim. We obviously touched a nerve because he immediately stripped right there in the living room. And once upstairs to get on our suits, we could not move fast enought to suit Porter. But eventually we made it across the street to the swimming pool.

Kangaroo Brown
After Uncle Tuck and Debbie left, Porter asked to paint so we got out his art supplies. He asked Sarah to whip up a new color for him; kangaroo brown.
Porter paints a kangroo.
Uncle Tuck & Debbie
Porter’s favorite Uncle Tuck and his girlfriend, Debbie, stopped by today for a quick visit. Although it was hard to wrest Porter’s attention away from Toy Story 2, he was very happy to see everybody.

Cheerios Fiend
Our little Alice has become a Cheerio fiend, gobbling them up by the ton. Drop some on the floor? No problem, then she’ll become a vacuum and eat them all up.
Mmmmm, Cheerios.
Greetings from Potatoland
I got an e-mail today from our friend Kristine, who lives in Boise, Idaho. Our other friends Nikki & Corey recently visited her in Idaho and she sent out some pictures from their trip.
