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.

On Safari

Categories: Photos, Porter, Alice, Sarah — J @ 3:13 pm

Today Sarah’s work sponsored an outing at Safari West, an animal preserve in Santa Rosa. We went there for Mother’s Day this year but this time we had no rain and a beautiful, if hot, sun. Porter and Alice were both having off days, but it was still fun.

Porter shows just how unimpressed he is.

Porter insists that Cheetos are the perfect food.

But at least he shared one with Cassidy, the daughter of another of Sarah’s co-workers.
