So, a pleasant evening last night with my lovely wife as we made some decisions.  Over a tad too much wine.  First is that we will buy the house that we looked at near Princeton.  Our dream house?  No, but no work needed, good configuration, decent yard (2.5 acres), pool and within easy cycling distance of Princeton - and a longish walk.

Two - we will get an au pair, a Brazilian, a man.  No, this is not Anne not trusting me to be alone with a cute Brazilian.  But we think that an active young man would be really good for the kids.  And ease the pressure on us.

Third - looks as though we will buy some extra land near the ranch.  A small grange, about 26 hectares.  Well watered, Juarez will use it to grow produce and feed for the cattle.  But we also think that it would be a good investment.

I think that we also decided some other stuff.  But I can't remember.
