About Us

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.

The Birthday Party

Categories: Events, Photos, Birthdays, Alice — J @ 3:52 pm

Alice’s birthday party with the family was great fun and Alice seemed to enjoy herself enormously.

We had a proper cake this time which Porter was very excited about. Alice managed once again to grab a fistful of icing.

Porter excitedly ate a corner piece that was mostly icing.

Then Alice opened her presents.

Alice models her new sunglasses.

At the Grandparents

Categories: Porter, Alice, Family — J @ 2:20 pm

We went to Sarah’s parents this afternoon for a family birthday party for Alice. The kids played for an hour or so until everybody arrived.

Alice tried cherries for the first time.

While Porter took a closer look around the house with Grandpa’s magnifying glass.

Way Freaking Early

The kids woke up way freaking early so I took them back to Porter’s room so Sarah could sleep a little longer.

Where Porter and Alice played with airplanes …

and ate PB & J’s and toast.
