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.

Water Snuggling
During aircraft manuevers — see previous post — Alice wanted to snuggle with me in the hot tub.
Alice and I snuggling as she eyes her brother waiting for an opening.
Then launches a splash attack.
Alice, me and my rapidly diminishing hair.
Daddy’s little girl.
And not just me, Alice was perfectly content snuggling with Mommy, too.
Aircraft Carrier Manuevers
Porter’s had this toy aircraft carrier for months but for some reason it never occured to him to take along with him to the pool. Well it finally did occur to him and so the carrier went on manuevers for the very first time.
Alice and I watch as Porter christens the USS Brookston.
The first plane readies for takeoff.
And off she goes.
Then circles around for a quick landing.
A perfect landing.
Group Photo Phriday #18
This week I’ve got another pair of random large group photos from the two years Sarah I were dating.
This one was sent in by Nikki. I’m not sure where this was taken apart from at night and in cold weather (since we’re all wearing jackets). From left: Liz (Christi’s little sister), not sure, Jolene, Jeff, Dammit what is his name, Sheldon (just hiding behind), Suzanne, Shmare, Michelle, Karen, Sarah, not sure and me.
Some hot babes at a New Year’s Eve party we threw at our old duplex in Santa Clara. To row, from left: Katherine, Jenny, Suzanne and Christi. Bottom row, from left: Sarah, Sarah’s friend who’s been M.I.A. for years, Jolene and Alex.
Little Slide
The small slides look like they’re getting a bit too small for Porter.
On the top.
Sliding home.
