How "Callahan" got his name



At the birth of our second child, our first son, Mark and I finally decided on a name that was special to both of us.  I always had difficulty chosing names because of my teaching background; "No, that one reminds me of a bully!  No, that one is too popular!  No, that one has a million nick-names!"  My favorite movie is "While you were sleeping" with Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman.  Bill Pullman's family name is "Callahan" and I just loved it.  Then Mark told me his little league team was sponsered by "Callahan Insurance" so we both had a connection!  Thus, Callahan Henry Wieland was born! 


BTW, Mark is #15 in the picture above...he thinks it was 7th or 8th grade!
