Our Lucy has been a very busy girl this year. Fifth grade school work has proven to be a bit more intense than previous years. But, along with homework and studying, she has been quite the extra-curricular phenom.
She was on the front page of the weekly Naval Air Station Sigonella newspaper! She's been running in the monthly base races. Her latest was a 5K. She's running with her friend, Camilla.
Swim, swim, and more swim! That's what Lucy's been doing since we first got here. She tried out for the Sigonella Swordfish swim team just a week after we got here. The rest of the swimmers had been in the water all summer, so she had some catching up to do, but she made us proud. She practiced after school three times a week. Unfortunately, we weren't able to make it to very many meets because of the new baby, but hopefully next year we'll see more. The team travels to Belgium, Germany, Lisbon, and Northern Italy. She competed in two here at Sigonella, one at Aviano, and one in Naples.
Many of the meets are held on Sunday, so that was a bit of a struggle for a little bit. Lucy handled that very well. Of course, she was disappointed, but I was so proud of her and the way she explained her beliefs to some of her friends.
Lucy also ran for Student Body Vice President and won! Here's one of her Instagrams from when she was campaigning. Silly girl.
She had to make signs and give a speech at an assembly. It was so fun listening to her plan and practice what she would say. She also made pins to pass out.
I was less than five minutes late for the assembly and missed it! I was sooo sad. The advisor had her give it again so I could see her at the podium.
She has had a lot of fun being involved with everything and helping with the planning of different events. She has always been an organizer and natural leader. So proud of her.
Side note: She babysat Benny and Graham for a couple hours last night for the first time. She did great! It was a success!
