Ortman Family Update {Thankful For}

Time has passed so quickly as much of my nap time blog time was used for the CarlyMarie Project.  Life has been full of changes for us and we have much to be thankful for!  So far Chris and I haven’t had a moment where we thought, “we made a mistake by moving.”.
