House fire update, of sorts

Thank you all so much for the kind words and offers of help.
hellbob's bosses have told him to take as much time as he needs to help his sister, so he will be heading out to her place soon. I'm stuck here at work with my eyes spontaneously leaking as I get each new offer of help & sympathy.
Some people have asked about the kids.
The daughter is 6 1/2 years old, and the son is 4 1/2.
We have no idea what their clothing sizes are (we don't have kids yet, we can't estimate those kinds of things!) but I have told Rick to get the clothing sizes for the whole family while he is there, and also to find out anything else he thinks they'll need right away.
I can't believe how many of you have offered to help, especially those who have never even met us in real life (and especially those who live on another continent).
As we know more of what they need I'll update, but for now we're just counting our blessings that they are safe and unharmed. Stuff can be replaced, they can't.
*hugs* to you all.

Update on hellbob's sister

hellbob spent the afternoon with his sister and her husband. Everyone is still in shock, but they are managing. They already have some cash from the insurance company for immediate needs.
Despite several offers of places to stay, they plan on staying in a hotel because they are stressed enough without feeling like they are in someone's way. The insurance will put them up in an apartment next week so they can stay over on their side of town. Last night they stayed with Don's parents but then this morning his dad asked them when they were going to the Anoka house to stay. Yeah, your son's house burns down, you live a mile from them, and you think they should go stay at a house an hour away. Whatever! So they're staying in a hotel.
The main thing they need right away is clothes. The girl is 6 1/2 years old, and the boy is 4 1/2.
We have no idea what Julie & Don's sizes are other than that Don wears a size XL t-shirt, and generally just wears t-shirts and jeans for work.

*edit* Oh yeah, and there are pictures here: http://www.dreamflyte.com/gallery/JuliesHouse
