Meet the Family

Artwork by the supremely talented and equally lovely Kristie from Hespera's Garden.

Ohai. I am Kate. I say stuff. I am a Mum, a writer, a reader, a not-very-good singer, a determined but uncoordinated runner, a juggler of domestic duties and a wearer of many metaphorical hats. I am married to a Supertrucker because I am lucky like that.

This is the Big Boy. He is 9 years old. He loves riding his motorbike and pushie,
and is a bit of a skateboard dude too. He is energetic, strong and clever. He has
Aspergers Syndrome, but that is only a tiny part of the whole. He is marvellous. 

This is the Big Girl. She is 8 years old. She loves fairies and butterflies and princesses.
Her favourite colour is yellow because it feels like sunshine. She loves going to school and is a
happy friendly girl. She is an optimist and she makes me smile every single day.

This is my Little Mate. He is 4 years old. He loves playing with motorbikes and cars,
and is frighteningly adept with an iPad. He is a boy of few words, but gives amazing
'nuggles'. He has autism and an intellectual disability but they are only a small part of
the whole. He jumps and sings and spins and fills my heart with joy.

This is Little Miss Thing (formerly known as the Babygirl). She is 2 years old.
She has a personality far bigger than her stature and the most adorable curls you
will ever see. She is full of cuddles and kisses and loves her siblings so much.
She is fun and funny and amazing.
