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.

While Sarah slept in, the kids and I went downstairs to start the day. Porter wanted a pancake breakfast so we made a batch.

Before and after.
