The fire started in a light switch in Sam's room and it spread very fast.
There was a lot of damage from fire, water, and smoke, but most of our valuables and furniture on the lower level are okay.
We stayed with close friends last night and will be here tonight and then the insurance company is putting us up in a hotel for 11 days after which they will find a house for us. It will likely be 2-3 months before we can move back in to our house.
The boys are doing really well. They were very freaked out yesterday, but they are very comfortable with our friends and seem to be adjusting to the changes okay.
I'll post with more detail later. In the mean time, just know that we have been taken care of very well. The Red Cross gave us disaster funds for food and diapers, friends have brought clothes and shoes for all of us, and we are fairing with grace.
I do have photos and will post them later, but they are pretty disturbing. Please don't worry, call if you want and I'll talk if I can.

Hi Amanda,
Krista and I were wondering if you needed anything. We are really close, so babysitting would be an option.
Also, do you or Matt need clothes or anything? Did your yarn survive?
