| Robin and Nicolas come from very different backgrounds and cultures. Robin, grew up in a very small rural community, her cultural heritage includes, English, German and Dutch. Nico’s parents immigrated to the US from Colombia in the 1970’s. He grew up speaking Spanish and English, in the same small city we currently live. Nico spent most summers in Colombia enjoying his huge extended family. Robin’s extended family is also very close. In fact most of them still live in her hometown. Her upbringing was classic country living, big home cooked meals, big family reunions, and great big open farmland! We feel that because of our different childhoods, we have much to offer to our children. We can spend a quiet weekend, enjoying nature (including the wonderful scent of cows!) with Robin’s family. Or we can embrace Nico’s heritage by teaching our girls spanish, eating ajiaco (a typical Colombian stew) or celebrating the Novena, starting nine days before Christmas. |
