Who Are the People In Your Neighborhood? Twins! 

You know what they say.... there must be something in the water....water faucet with drip

It seems that Belle Creek in Henderson, CO, is experiencing a bit of a baby boom.  The ebb and flow of family creation will naturally include twins from time to time.  But in a neighborhood of roughly 300 homes, 3 sets born within 6 months of one another seems like the plot of a sitcom!

I just love getting to know my neighbors better.  It helps me to understand the needs of my real estate clients and it brings our community closer together.  

That is why I choose to knock on doors rather than mail out my Quarterly Market Data Report for Belle Creek.

it was a gorgeous sunny Saturday afternoon- with a record high!- 2 weeks ago.  I slathered on the sun block and set out.

First, I noticed that on 106th Place there was a young man struggling to hoist a crib (still in box) up his front steps.  I stopped to chat as his adorable wife came out of the house to hand him a furniture strap to ease his load.  Then I noticed a second crib still in the car.

Twins?  You bet.

happy little girlThen, something even funnier happened.  Up on Dayton Way, a front door was open so that a family could enjoy the fresh air.  I called "hello!" and they welcomed me inside.  There on the floor in their infant seats, napping away... Twins!  One boy, one girl, about 3 months old.  Mom and Dad were beaming as they told me that they were already sleeping through the night, and that 3 year old big sis was happy as a clam with her new siblings.

 

What a coincidence, I thought.  Until I came upon the third set!  

On the north end of Belle Creek Boulevard, a happy and exhausted set of parents have welcomed home their set just a few days before I came-a-knockin'.

Could it be something in the water?

Good morning Jennifer...goodness gracious, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Buy bottled water!

Also, I'd much rather knock on doors than send out mailers.

Have a great week!

Kim- haha!  I cannot imagine having twins.... Funny thing is, when my husband and I were having a baby many years ago, it seemed a real possibility.  I am in the generation that has twins on BOTH sides!

Ma- That would be something.... I think I'm too old for twins, but I know that in about 15 years, you will make a super great-grandma... heehee....

Joshua- If I stay in the area long enough, I'll have 6 clients....hmmm..... :)

Bliz- That's what I'm thinking too..... Give them 6-9 months when the twins are walking and then they'll start thinking...

Belle Creek is a very busy place and you are right something is in the water.  I probably would bring my H2O bottle when I stop in there.  Great blog and I just loved it!

Charita- haha!  I'm too old for twins, so I'd better get bottled water... ;)

Lizette- glad you enjoyed it!  Belle Creek is a very special- and busy- place.  I always learn something fun when I door knock :)
