Snip-snip

So, little Gus got circumcised this morning (sorry if you think that is too much information - I don't pull any punches). Normally this would have been done before he left the hospital after being born, but because he was a little jaundiced they wanted to wait till that subsided.

Interestingly, though, this is the 8th day since he was born - and that was (is?) the traditional day for circumcision under the covenant between God and Abraham. I was just reading that chapter of the Bible last week, the day Gus was born, and while it isn't super important I am rather pleased it worked out this way :)

BTW, if you ever read this some day Gus: you did a great job! No big fuss - you took it like a man. I'm very proud.
