Oh... what to say. This is the hardest blog I've had to write. I've started it a 100 times and just got to emotional to finish. I can't say enough how much I miss my Dad. He was such a HUGE part of my life. I never knew when we set the date for Carsen's Baptism what the day had in store for us. My Dad raised us to always put God first in our lives and in whatever we do. This was the most beautiful day with him. God was so present. During mass, I kept looking over my shoulder at my Dad and he had the biggest smile on his face. He was so proud. Little did he know how proud we all were of him for his courage and fight through a battle he was never meant to win. I love that we chose him to be Carsen's Godfather. What better example of a man for my son. I know Carsen will always have an Angel on his shoulder helping through life. Who better than my Dad to be that Angel.
Carsen had the privilege of being baptised with his cousin Dylan. Travis and I had the honors of being her Godparents. They were just too cute together. She did awesome. Dylan went first in the baptismal font. I think it helped Carsen out seeing her go first. He thought... if she can do it... I can do it too!
Thank you to all our family and friends who traveled near and far to share this special day with us. It's funny... I don't have a picture of the crowd but there had to be over 50 people there. We felt like celebrities. Especially at the end of the service. Everyone was crowded around us taking pictures like the paparazzi. We didn't know which camera to look at. That is why we all look like we are looking in different directions! LOL!
Carsen's like... What just happened?
This Blog entry is dedicated in loving memory of John Wolf Sr. Proud parent of 7 kids and 12 grandchildren. You will be truly missed. I love you Daddy!

Now Carsen. He laid so still for the...."Father, Son...but not for the Holy Spirit(below). It got a chuckle from the crowd.
