Jay,
If I can give a bit of advice on the bonds, since they are laddered and since short term interest rates are so low presently, it is to your advantage to sell them when there is one year maturity left. At one year maturity, the price will have adjusted to account for the low interest rate on newly issued one year notes and you will reap the difference as a capital gain over par. Take the proceeds and roll up into the next maturity. It pays to let the bonds mature if the yield curve is flat or inverted but when it is very steep you can take your money off the table at one year or longer depending on the steepness of the curve.
JMHO,
Ro
