O Come, Let Us Adore Him

Bartolomé Esteban Perez Murillo, Adoration of the Shepherds, c. 1668

Yea Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning

Jesus, to Thee be glory given

Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing!

O come, let us adore Him

O come, let us adore Him

O come, let us adore Him

Christ the Lord.

A beautiful, blessed Christmas and light-filled new year to all.

Birthday Boy

A few new photos for share in the canine collection for those who enjoy updates on the growing Boxador boy as he grows. A year old on November 27, weighing in (then) at 85 lbs., and still growing!

Dog school:

Dog Recess:

The field's for fun too (actually, mostly)

Contemplating his stunning new maturity on the official 1st b-day

And

A man who takes his Advent season seriously:

Luka and his (gutted - in less than ten minutes) reindeer elf

Hope doggie pics make everyone as holly-jolly as they make me and wishing all a beautiful and blessed holiday season.
