Our new addition to the family....


Meet our new addition....Charlotte!! Kevin and I had the grand idea to go to a local pottery store after church on Sunday, April 25, 2008. Once we got there (Accidental Artist in New Bern, NC) it was really hard to decide what were going to do. After much contemplation, I suggested that we pick a piece of pottery to work on together. I thought how cool would it be to paint a piggy bank and call it our "Wedding Fund".

I have to admit I learned a lot from this endeavor:
1. I'm way too uptight at times and I need to learn to let go and just have fun (when time permits...lol).
2. Kevin doesn't follow directions very well. We agreed that we would each paint one side and decorate it to our liking. Tell me why before it was all said and done he was all up on my side painting!
3. It is very important to evenly paint the piece of pottery making sure you get three coats of paint on every surface.
4. Kevin and I truly are made for each other because only the two of us can go into an art studio and quickly become the center of attention!

Enjoy!
This was our fun helper who was really excited about posing for our pictures!

This is Charlotte all naked before we properly covered her...lol~

Is it just me or is Kevin really concentrating on painting in the lines! Check out the "Michael Jordan tongue". LOL!
I can't even lie...I'm concentrating way too hard on this project!

Now you know I couldn't leave Bentley out of the equation!


The finished product!!!!
