| Teo Sebastian Speece was born on January 26, 1998 on the island Santa Cruz of the Galapagos Islands. Glenda and I thought of Teo�s name by trying to combine two sounds of our origins. We took the T from LaTino and the EO from EuropEO (which means European in Spanish). Mara Linda Speece was born on March 10, 2000 in Quito, the capital of Ecuador. Mara comes from the word sea in Spanish--Mar. If the sea were feminine in Spanish it would be Mara and Linda comes from her Grandmother�s name Linda Speece which means beautiful in Spanish. |
