Step two

Well, Anna is done with chemo. She's got a couple of weeks before she starts (daily) radiation treatments, so we spent last week in Yakima as a sort of vacation. It was nice to get out of town and try to forget that we live in the Worst Apartment In The History Of The World. Anna found a wig while we were there-- We discovered you truly get what you pay for. We had purchased a wig from a costume store here in Seattle for about $40, and it was ill-fitting and annoying for her to wear. The wig she found in Yakima fit perfect, looks great (and very real), and set her back almost $300. With that in mind, I've decided I'm going to stop going bald.
I'm very excited to report that I found three pairs of jeans (in the same store!) in Yakima. While this may not sound like breaking news, you should know that my medical condition (NoAssAtAll syndrome) makes it very hard to find pants that fit and look good. I usually try on pants, look in the mirror, and find some seventies disco version of Urkel looking back at me. It's a real problem.
We got to see a lot of family while in the Yak-- the highlight was my grandparents, who had not met Silas yet. I have an incredible picture of all four generations of Schumacher men. Silas loved seeing all of the family. He might be the most sociable child in the world-- I wonder where he got that trait...
There's not too much more to report-- We're in the home-stretch with Anna's treatments, Spring is here, and baseball is on the horizon, so all is good.
