To many of you it will seem a little late, but last Friday we had Micah circumcised. We meant to take Micah in well before now, but four boys, learning a foreign language, and everyday life kept getting in the way. Why am I sharing this with you? In this country circumcisions are not done right after birth, as a matter of fact most are circumcised sometime after the age of seven. Usually the celebration of this event ranks up there with a wedding. Boys wear a special costume on this day and their picture is forever displayed in the house. When I started to take a picture of the doctor signing Micah's circumcision certificate he called for the nurse to bring in the hat and sash. Now, we too can hang a picture of Micah in traditional circumcision garb.

That's great. I love it. Micah looks so happy. Was this before or after? Did he wear the sash and hat all day long?
