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.

Picnic Blanket Wrestling

Categories: Photos, Porter, Alice, Sarah — J @ 1:17 pm

While I was off interviewing people at the Oyster BBQ, the family began wrestling. The following scene greeted me when I returned.

Alice gets the upper hand on Sarah while Porter waits to be tagged.

While Sarah trys to disarm Alice by lifting her into the air, Porter sneaks in for a frontal attack.

The kids double-team Sarah, gaining the upper hand again.

Sarah tries to Rally.

But ends up losing the match.

Tapped Out

Categories: Photos, Humor, Porter, Beer — J @ 10:22 am

When we were at the Oyster BBQ in late April, Porter kept eyeing the taps expectedly. I’m not sure what he thought was coming out of them, but he was clealy fascinated.

Keeping his eye on the taps.

This is the one I want.

I can do this.

Perhaps he’d had one too many.
