Father Richie Hopper is a huge sports fan and works as a sports writer for the village newspaper. When he's not working Richie's favourite hobbies are spending time with his family, and the occasional round of golf on a sunny day!

Mother Sandy Hopper is a talented chef who dreams of opening her own restaurant one day. For now however, with the arrival of baby Katie keeping the family very busy, Sandy busies herself preparing scrumptious pies, salads and other tasty dishes that her friends and family adore testing out. Sandy tries to find the time to write down her recipes while the little one is sleeping, or out for a stroll in her pram with her father.

Baby Sister Katie Hopper is the latest arrival in this small family. Being so tiny she isn't very independent yet, and spends most of her time snuggled up in mummy's apron pocket. Katie loves lullabies and takes lots of naps - after all she has lots of growing to do! Her father, Richie, is looking forward to when she is big enough to play sports out in the garden with him.
