Great advice above. You will be shocked at what colleges cost and what you as parents are expected to contribute, especially if you make over $100K a year. Even multiple kids in college at the same time doesn't really help a whole lot.
The only thing that I might add is don't be put off by the high prices of private colleges. While a private college that charges greater than $40K a year looks very expensive, they often have more money to give to students. A lot of the time a private college can pitch in financial aid to bring your net cost down to under what a state college or university costs.
