Thanks!!
She is our second. Both grandchildren are terrific and live relatively close by.
And don't mis-read my post...this is clearly a "wish I had been smart enough" story. (Written discretely on Facebook as a hint to our own kids!!)
I am able to quietly boast that the first grandchild is up 17.4%. First I had him in Vanguard STAR Fund and a little over a year ago moved him into Vanguard Target 2060 (VTTSX):
Holdings-Underlying funds as of 05/31/2014
Rank Fund name Percentage
1 Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund Investor Shares 63.1%
2 Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund Investor Shares 26.9%
3 Vanguard Total Bond Market II Index Fund Investor Shares** 8.0%
4 Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund 2.0%
