Wherein my youngest daughter has a wardrobe malfunction… repeatedly
22 May 11 by Tim Martin | No Comments | 64 view(s)Categories: family | Tags: dance, lindy, video
And so ends another chapter of the Martin book. For no less than seven years, I’ve had a daughter in one of Miss Donna’s Kinderdance classes. And for no less than seven years, Miss Donna has held a place in the Mount Rushmore of “People Who Manage to Meet Our Exceptionally High Expectations”.
Thank you, Miss Donna, for hosting a dance class that had piles of the right kinds of things, and none of the stuff that makes people like me run away. As always, I had the privilege of watching 30 minutes of my daughter and about 3 seconds without her (while all the girls changed into tap clothes).
I’ve boiled those 30 minutes down to about 8 for those of you who’d care to watch. I’m sure I’ll watch this with tears in my eyes a few times over the next 10 years.
And yes, Lindy did have a wardrobe malfunction, of the footwear kind… Those darn tap shoes, both of them, found their way off her feet three different times. And on each occasion, the kid kept the show rolling without missing a beat. What a showoff…
More Soccer… Lindy vs The Beasts
24 Apr 11 by Tim Martin | No Comments | 11 view(s)Categories: family | Tags: lindy, soccer, video
This week, Lindy’s team played the monsters of the 5 year old soccer midway. The green team is reputed to be the best thing going, and certainly gave Lou some trouble last time around. I spoke with their coach (a friend) prior to the game, and we agreed that it would be fun for all to collect several of the most aggressive players on a single field.
So, if you’re a big Lindy fan, enjoy 13 minutes of some of the best U5 soccer available at the Brentwood Family YMCA. I think I’ve included every moment of interest from the game (while Lindy was on the field… we don’t video the rest of it). In the end, it was a 5-5 tie, which I think was pretty fitting.
If you’d rather just watch Lindy’s explosive moment, you can find it here.

Check out Lindy’s triumphant return to soccer. This time, she’s trying new things all over the field. And some of them even work!

Lindy’s Evolution
20 Oct 10 by Tim Martin | 2 Comments | 21 view(s)Categories: family | Tags: lindy, soccer, video
Lindy’s soccer career continues to be full of successes! It’s been interesting to watch her learn the game and learn about the risks too… She’s become more careful (not necessarily a good thing), so she’s hanging back and waiting for the ball to squirt out. Mind you, she’s still lightning fast and skilled with the ball. But watch her patrol the field… she’s keeping the whole thing under control, and then exploding. Very fun to watch…
Fall Break… time for fill-ins

That’s right, we’ve already seen Oakley play soccer this week, but she found herself in a second game this week. Watch for Oakley’s near misses and Aspen’s successes.
Fall is all about soccer…

I know this blog has been loaded with soccer of late… but that’s what life’s like it seems. Two days a week, three hours each time… we’re playing a lot of soccer. Fortunately for all involved, our girls really like soccer, and so do I.
First up this week? Oakley and her Cheetahs.
Has Lindy Met Her Match?!

Meet Anna, number 13 for the Orange Crush. Lindy’s Silver Sharks had yet to see the likes of Anna this year. Anna battles. Anna’s fast. And Anna doesn’t quit. Frankly, Anna reminds me of Lindy!
That combination made for a great soccer game on Saturday. Enjoy.
