Hi! To briefly introduce our family, we are Matt and Ashleigh. Matt was my high school sweetheart and fortunately is still my sweetheart and best friend today. He's also how people remember me since I'm quiet, but they do remember, "Oh! You're the one married to the zoo guy". He's super cool!
At this season of my life, I am Mommy to 3 active boys and a beautiful Chinese daughter for whom we waited for over 7 years and we were united with on October 8th, 2013. I'm also a homeschool teacher, wife, and a very, very part time clinical pharmacist (work with some very sweet veterans one day per week at the VA Hospital).
The most important thing to know about us is that we're followers of Jesus Christ, and we are imperfectly trying to raise our children to be His servants. That part is a work in progress...
First born boy. Hilarious, outgoing, and always ready to celebrate something! God graciously placed him first in our family and he is an awesome example to his little brothers and a fantastic big brother.

Second born boy. He's our thoughtful, compassionate, gentle soul. He's a quiet thinker, so you have to draw out his thoughts (it's worth it!) . He also wins the "cuddliest" award.

Our Little Monkey! :) He's always ready to make his family laugh, which he does often. He thinks he's much bigger than he actually is and tries to keep up with his brothers. He's pure cuteness right now!
