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.

A New Blog

Categories: News, Friends — J @ 8:12 am

Our friends Kara and Dave in Seattle have just launched their own family blog called Seattle Hamiltons. Check it out. They’re just getting started and it will feature family photos, especially of their daughter Audrey, and — hopefully — political commentary from Dave. That way perhaps I can wax politically more often, too. If you ever forget the address, it’s been added to our Blogroll on the left-hand column.
