Video from Our Road Trip?!?

Here is a video of Ben and I bonding on our road trip. Gotta embrace the father-son moments when they come. It just goes so fast!

Crazy Heat

Hottest day on record in Vancouver today. This heat is making me crazy.

Congratulations Mark Buerhle!

Mark Buerhle pitched a perfect game tonight against Tampa Bay Rays. This is only the 2nd perfect game in White Sox history and the 18th perfect game in MLB history. Go ChiSox!

Savary 2009

We had another great week at Savary. The weather was divided into thirds...part rain, part cloud, part warm and sunny. This is pretty normal for Savary. You can see what we did during each of these times.

Happy Canada Day!

For the fifth time I joined some of my swim team and went to Lake Sasamat for the Canada Day Open Water Swim. But this time I wasn't the only Halton in the water. Julie is here and we both swam! Dane, Ben and Cousin Carol were there to cheer us on. Here are a few pics of the beautiful day.
