The “Taupes” are a mixture of two colorful families…it's not about skin color, but names. Here’s a story….’bout a man named Brown…..married a girl named White….now we’re the “Taupes.” We make our home in Denver, Colorado with our two sons….one "White"….one "Brown"…. both Taupe!
We just added another "Brown" to the family...this one a daughter from Ethiopia. We're a truly colorful family, now, and we couldn't be happier!
