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.

The Goldfish Heist
This morning our little cat burglar Alice perpetrated yet another nefarious crime.
While Porter sits watching the Wiggles this morning, notice Alice is climbing up onto the sofa behind him.
Then she’s climbing up, over the sofa. Where on earth is she going?
To steal Porter’s Goldfish from the bowl behnd the sofa, of course.
Practice Smile
Today is school picture day so we had to decide what to have Porter wear. We decided on this striped sweater we recently got for him.
Porter practices his smile for pictures.
Morning Snuggle
While I was in the kitchen this morning making Porter’s lunch, the kids were in the living room watching the Wiggles. When I walked back in, this is the scene that greeted me.
Alice and Porter snuggling on the couch.
Defying Gravity
Next to the shuttle was a Cat in the Hat bounce house.
The bounce house.
In the house.
Looking out the window.
Defying gravity.
Nothing but air. [ There’s a larger version of this photo at the Photoblog. ]
Boing!
Flying.
Table Dancing
While Porter played on the space shuttle, Alice had a blast dancing on an iron table with a big umbrella.
A serious pose.
Happy in the wind.
“Look, a pole.”
Hold on!
“I got it.“
