It's me again. I noticed there hasn't been any updates since last year and thought I send you a buzz on what's been happening to the Lyttle family here in Ireland. As you may have recalled that I've informed you that my husband has accepted a post to work in Christchurch in New Zealand. Since then we have done our medical check-ups and send all mentionable applications to the NZ Immigration. So far Stephen and Jasmine's visa clearance have been approved. Mine, unfortunately has been referred to the medical assessor on account that I have, occasionally experienced "sore knee". It is so frustrating!

Now Stephen is in two minds on whether he wants to go ahead or not in regards to actually moving us all to Christchurch. Mind you, there have been confirmed rumours that New Zealand might be experiencing a larger quake in the coming months. At this stage, I'm trying to calm his nerves down and I don't want to read too much into it. Do you have any friends down in New Zealand who let me know what's the situation is there?
Jasmine will again be turning 6 this 1 March and we will be having her birthday early. Her party is tomorrow and she has invited about 20 friends to the do. It's not the friends that she is excited about, more the presents they are bringing with them. Typical girl! She is a chatterbox. I sometimes feel quite exhausted after a session of chats with her. Boy! Can she talk but one thing for sure, she can really explain herself on how things work. Very inquisitive about everything and very observant too. Sometimes we feel that we are under her watchful eye so we have to be careful what we say around her because it come back and bit you in the behind ;)
Hope all of you have a good laugh about it and hopefully we would be able to see you soon!
Love
