Myself and Anne have the info on our facebooks, I have saved and posted the photo. I cant imagine how you must be feeling, they were saying on the news that the phone lines are damaged or something so people might not be able to get through.
Keep us posted, just wish we could be of more help.

I am so grateful for all the support in this nightmare time. My hearts also go out to those that know they have lost a loved one.
I have left details with the Foreign Office which they say they will pass onto the British Consular, so if Kevin or Sam get in touch they will let me know.

Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker says police have set up an emergency call centre.
People are being told to phone 0800 Red Cross (0800 733 276) to report a missing person.
Main welfare centre is Burnside High School.
Civil Defence said a welfare centre would open at Papanui High School at approximately 8pm.
Lyttelton Recreation Centre, Brooklands Community Centre and Akaroa Senior School are also open as welfare centres.
People should expect aftershocks, which are impossible to predict with any accuracy.
Water supplies have been disrupted throughout most of the city. If it rains, residents are asked to collect water in buckets if possible. Residents are advised to conserve water and boil drinking water for three minutes.
There will be a water plan put in place to get water to the community, Civil Defence says.
Portaloos will be deployed, however this may take some time.
Power will remain off in the CBD and eastern suburbs overnight.
Tomorrow's kerbside collection is cancelled to the Brighton and coastal areas.
The central city of Christchurch remains closed to traffic. The central city business district has been cordoned off and police are warning people to stay away from the areas within Madras, St Asaph, Montreal and Kilmore Streets for their own safety and to let emergency services do their job. People who try to get into the cordoned off areas will be turned away.
Cordons will be pushed out to the Four Avenues overnight.
There is reported damage in other parts of the city including Lyttelton.
POLICE ADVICE
- Stay out of the central city
- Stay at home unless it is absolutely necessary to travel
-Check the welfare of your neighbours - especially the elderly
-Conserve water
The Lyttleton road tunnel is closed and there are rockfalls on the Summit Road so please avoid these areas. Ferrymead Bridge is closed.
For roads information go to the New Zealand Transport Agency .
Emergency triage centres for the injured are operating at Latimer Square, Canterbury University and the Sanitarium Building in Papanui - not South City or the Spotlight Mall, Sydenham.
CIVIL DEFENCE ADVICE
- Expect aftershocks.
- Each time you feel one, drop, cover, and hold on.
- Help those around you if you can.
Only attend A and E at the hospital if absolutely essential. For other injuries, contact your nearest after hours medical centre.
Listen to the radio for advice and information.
The government helpline is 0800 779 997.
Schools and Early Childhood Services closed
All schools and early childhood services in Christchurch City have been closed until further notice.
The Ministry is advising schools and Early Childhood Services in Waimakariri and Selwyn Districts to close on Wednesday to allow time to assess the situation.

So sorry to hear you are going through this again.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Has anyone heard from Wiz and Ton and their gorgeous baby? I used to love reading their blog, from here, on the other side of the world.
Stay safe everyone.
