The Sammy 10 Pound Challenge!

07.10.2012

Our beautiful Sammy is finally home — and she obviously brought the sunshine with her!

Last week, we were able to jump right in to one of our usual peaceful beach walks with my son Theo. We even took extra time to sit and watch Jericho’s baby bunny rabbits bounce around after their moms — though Theo was more interested in feeding Auntie Sam his muffin, which was a good thing because she needs all the extra nutrition she can get.

Sam wrote in her last post, “I feel like a 10 pound weakling…” Sam is not weak, but she IS tiny and in need of some fattening up, so Lucia and I would like to start the “10 Pound Challenge” and we are calling on Sam’s circle of friends for help. If you want to drop off some yummy treats and easy meals that she can grab from the fridge,  please email Lucia Lundin who very kindly has offered to orchestrate a schedule so Sam has a steady stream of goodies. No need to make a huge casserole – just think of Sammy when making dinner for your family and set aside a portion or two!

FYI Some foods Sam is trying to avoid: all cow dairy (butter is hard to avoid so not to worry if this is in your dish!), red meat, and pork, anything too spicy or tough on the gut (i.e. lentils, beans). Oh, and Sam does not like beets! Please go light on the gluten, when possible. If you have questions please feel free to email us.

Lucia’s email is lucialundin@gmail.com

Thanks to all for the continued love, warmth and encouragement.

Hugs,

Gabi & Lucia
