Steph and I met with a financial planner from Thrivent Financial. A lot of questions were asked of us, many of which we really didn't know the answer to. How do we plan for college? (Kyle told us that by the time Jordan is 18, the average expense for a college education will be around $200,000- which is why I continue to hold onto the thought that Jordan will be a left-handed pitcher who can switch hit.) How much life insurance do we need? How and when will we retire? What does this mean for our current job situation? Will we be able to save for thin things that we want to do?
Having to think about what will happen if one of us dies is a sobering thought, especially now that we have to consider Jordan.
Considering Jordan: Every day with him keeps getting better. He has more sounds and more movements everyday. We continue to work on his linguistic development. His face lights up when I try and get him to make the "O" sound. He is more active in reaching for and hitting the rings that hang above his play mat. (the other day he actually grabbed and held onto one- he is using is hands and fingers a lot more now).
Thought of the moment: Growth.
To ponder the costs of college. A left-handed switch hit pitcher could just do the trick. Nick was goalie for his soccer game on Saturday and punted the ball out of goal all the way to the opposite goal (not in, but close -- would that count?) Point is every NFL team needs a punter -- may have to start refining that skill.
