No new boat for Charlotte

This weekend we made our first trip to Waupaca with Charlotte. It went pretty well. We went to a boat show in Green Bay. Charlotte enjoyed the $525,000 Yacht from Cruisers. However, even with the 4.9% financing, it fell a little out of Mommy and Daddy's price range. Especially considering it was for 24 mos. Interestingly, we could have financed a $55,000 pontoon boat for 180 months. How many times do you suppose the boat would be in the shop during those 180 months...not to mention the other 9 months of the year that we wouldn't be using it.

Charlotte and Grandma had a great time. Charlotte made the transition over to formula this weekend so Mommy and Daddy were anxiously awaiting the "outcome"...if you know what I mean. She seems to have come around fine although we did go a full day without any "outcome" so there were some tense diaper changes. Hey! We're new parents! Cut us some slack!

Otherwise not much new. Kaye has 3 more weeks of FMLA remaining, then I'll be taking 2 or 3 weeks off to hang out with Charlotte. After that, it's off to school for Charlotte. I figure about a year or so after that, she can get a job and start earning her keep.
