Callahan turned 14 on the 28th...halfway to his golden birthday! It kind of was stinky because lots of us had this flu that wasn't so fun. Emma and Lucy stayed up late the night before helping to make his cake since I was out. He wanted this brownie cookie cake since he's not a huge fan of cake but loves brownies. It was a labor of love for these girls, and I was so grateful because I wasn't sure if he'd get a cake on his big day. It turned out awesome and just goes to show how helpful and amazing these girls are and how much they love their brother. We woke up and made waffles for Cal (I masked up since I was feeling awful) and sent him on his way. We didn't see the birthday boy again until 5:45 p.m. when he finished up with wrestling. We brought him home and had pizza, breadsticks and mozzarella sticks with pop for dinner. Then we played a Star Wars 2 truths and a lie game and a Star Wars scattergory game, which he smoked us all at. Then it was presents time - he got some Star Wars socks and a real deal light saber. He was super excited about that, as he's been saving for one for a while but all of his money lately is going to his Washington DC trip. This one is cool because you can attach them together to form a dual saber or take them apart to duel with others. So the kids played with that a lot while I rested on the couch mostly. Then we had cake and sang to Cal. We gave Cal a bunch of stickers and he shared a lot with his siblings. He didn't really want a friend birthday, just a family one. Hopefully next year we can have a fun friend birthday for him.

Cal has such a good heart. He is always considerate of others and looks out for those around him.
I've never seen Cal get upset about loosing a sport or game at all. He's pretty even tempered. One of the teachers at the school talked about Cal when he was reffing once and there was clearly a bad call but Cal kept his composure and was cool about it and he was impressed.
Cal enjoys reading still and likes finding exciting new series to read in the YA section at the library.
Really getting into rock music - loves Metallica, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and lots of classic rock bands and likes playing the songs on his bass guitar.
Callahan is starting to babysit and is a favorite around here among the neighborhood kids and his cousins. He is super fun with all the kids.
Still getting migraines quite a bit and has been having some hemiplegic migraines here and there since summer. They can be scary but we are learning how to manage it.
