Fire in Indiana

After two of my friends started blogs for their own families I thought it would be fun to do one of our own....so yes, we are jumping on the bandwagon! So it appears that with a family blog you update others with the current happenings of your family.....so here it goes! Chris received the news on Sunday, February 3rd that his parent's home in Indiana burnt down. They had lived there since 1977. Thankfully, they were not at home when the fire started but were babysitting their grandkids in Indianapolis (2 hours away from their home). They lost everything except what they had packed in a small overnight bag.



Chris flew back "home" on Tuesday the 5th to help them sift through the rubble and do all the other tasks that come with a devastation like theirs (apartment hunting, meeting with the insurance agent, etc.). He arrived home safely on Sunday. It was a LONG 5 days without Chris and we were so happy to see him. Pictures coming soon. In the meantime, here is a picture of Sophia and Matthew hanging out and getting ready for bed.
