Saturday found us at another Cubbies game with Luke & Nicole. We had a lot of fun and were all able to relax without the kiddos (Luke & Nicole have Reese age 3 and Rocco age 3 months).
After the game we met up with our friend Joe...after an hour together to grab dinner, the 4 of us were planning on heading back home to pick up our kiddos. One look at Joe's face told Nicole and I to head back home without the boys, so Cameron and Luke stayed in the city to hang with Joe for a few more hours.
Which lead to Cameron's tattoo. He's been talking about getting one for a good four years and last night he pulled the trigger. As we all know Cameron loves the town he calls "My town"...Chicago. The Chicago flag is one of the most recognizeable flags of any city...and is regularly discussed as one with lots of symbolism. For those of you who don't know the flag, it has two blue stripes for the 2 bodies of water that are part of Chicago (lake michigan and the chicago river). It also has 4 red stars that symbolize the 4 major events in Chicago history that helped to shape the town (the chicago fire, the columbian expositon, the century of progress exposition, and fort dearborn). SO...with that backdrop, Cameron decided to get one of those red stars to symboloize the event that shaped or lives, the birth little Dane...
So...whenever we're blessed with another child there will be another Chicago star directly under the one between his shoulder blades. Luke added "RAM" to his bicep - it's the initials for both of his kids.
