Il est American!

We had the boys circumcised today.  Our midwife knows a rabbi that makes house calls so we had the procedure done at the house today.  Immediately after the procedure Julia was able to feed and comfort them.

The funny part of the day occurred when the rabbi was leaving.  We were standing by the door receiving last minute instructions with Samuel standing between me and the rabbi.  I gave Samuel the euros to pay the rabbi and he looked at it, gave a wry smile, and tried to run away.  The rabbi said "Il est American."  I hope it was meant as a joke.

We then told Samuel to give the money to the rabbi.  He walked toward the rabbi with the euros in his left hand. Samuel grabbed one 50 euro note with his right hand, handed it to the rabbi, and turned to leave with the remaining euros still in his left hand.
