....(If I had a million dollars)I'd buy you a house(I would buy you a house)If I had a million dollars(If I had a million dollars)I'd buy you furniture for your house(Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)And if I had a million dollars.......I'd be rich. (Barenaked Ladies)
I hope those of you who know that song get it stuck in your head, i did. What would i do if i had a million dollars?? I was listening to a radio morning show after i dropped Ella off at school. I will say it is the one thing i enjoy about being up and out that early. Anyway, new research was out and the average cost for raising a child today is $220,000. Yes, that is two hundred and twenty THOUSAND dollars. I came home and found a few websites. One website even had a calculator to estimate the cost for a child given the birth year, income, parents in the household, and college preference. That calculator estimated that it would be about $340, 000 for Ben. WOW. Safe to say it will cost us maybe $300,000 per child. I couldn't think of a better way to spend a million dollars. :)

You did get that song stuck in my head! Thanks! And I hope to send both of my rugrats to Pharamcy school, so they will probably cost us a million as well. I couldn't think of a better way to spend it!
First of all, I'm glad that you guys are going to be able to make Elizabeth's wedding. It should be a lot of fun.
Secondly, I'd like to say that at 300,000 dollars a pop that equals 1.2 million... I mean, I've always been good at math. Saying that, I noticed that your picture was at Starbucks and that even little Ben was sipping a mocha latte'... Maybe, you and your investment could start saving funds by making coffee at home, or waiting until the kids are, at least, 7 to let them start drinking it. I kid, I think you guys are worth a lot more.
