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.

Faux Bunk Bed

Categories: Photos, Porter, Alice — J @ 4:07 pm

Alice’s old changing table — actually it was originally Porter’s — was starting to break and since we have another in her room now, we decided to rearrange things and get rid of it. While it was out in the bedroom, the kids decided to play with it like it was a bunk bed.

Then watching while Alice does likewise.

So he joins her in the top bunk.

The Yellow Sub in Open Water

Categories: General — J @ 11:25 am

Porter’s new yellow remote-controlled yellow submarine went for its maiden voyage in our swimming pool a couple of weeks back.

Porter very excited to be lauching the yellow submarine.

Porter watches as the sub sets off on its around-the-pool mission.

While Porter waits on shore.

Meanwhile, Alice and Sarah relaxed in the hot tub.
