Introduction

Hello!

My name is Tony, and I am married to Nikki, and we have six kids between the two of us - three from my previous marriage, and three from hers. So we are what society calls a stepfamily, but I like to call ourselves the Brady Bunch!


Nikki and I were reminiscing the other day about the funny things that have happened since we started dating and subsequently joined our families.  We have only been together for six years, but already we feel like we have experienced a lifetime full of stories that keep us all laughing every time we revisit them.  We decided that we should start writing down these memories before we fade from this world without having stored these recollections in some tangible form.


My mother always kept a journal on our camping trips and vacations, and it's fun to go back into the many volumes of little books that she kept - years and years worth of experiences that go all the way back to before I was born.  So, this is our attempt to put our memories into print so that our kids and grandkids can look back on the Amusing Stories on Raising Our Stepfamily.
