First there were two - families that is.
The Bear and I were on our own until I met J.
In July of 2005, I married a single dad and gained not only a wonderful husband but also two wonderful (most of the time) kids. Together we formed our own twenty-first century Brady Bunch. 
We were happily blending our new family when, SURPRISE!, Monkey decided to join the party!
In July of 2008, the arrival of our baby boy made us more like Yours, Mine and Ours. Now we are six. And we are loving life blending together.
