Fire!

We had a fire in the house! Elizabeth put a bendable desklamp on top of Kate's shirt and it caught on fire after she left the room. I was asleep across the hall at the time. Ken was able to smell it from downstairs and remove the lamp that was melting and smoking up the bedroom. He went back to make sure that he had taken care of the problem and there were 1 1/2 foot high flames coming from the shirt! He covered it with a towel and put it out. Kate's shirt was ruined, there was a tiny burn mark in the carpet, the glass part of the lamp melted into the carpet and the towel was ruined, but that was the only damage. We were very blessed. Ken's our hero!
