All My Edwards Boys

I have company at my house for two weeks... there is nothing like living with a teenage boy! I am around teenagers a lot, and I love them. But like I said, there is nothing like living with one. Crazy! :) So at the moment I am surrounded by Edwards boys! Here are some pics from the last few days.

We went to a free day a the art Musem... Jacob was ready to paint!

Laying on the floor talking to my cousin.

Happy B'day Khalil. He turned 17!

Equipment

Figure it out for yourself, my lad,
You've all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes
And a brain to use if you would be wise.
With this equipment they all began,
So start for the top and say, "I can."

Look them over, the wise and great
They take their food from a common plate,
And similar knives and forks they use,
With similar laces they tie their shoes.
The world considers them brave and smart,
But you've all they had when they made their start.

You can triumph and come to skill,
You can be great if you only will.
You're well equipped for what fight you choose,
You have legs and arms and a brain to use,
And the man who has risen great deeds to do
Began his life with no more than you.

You are the handicap you must face,
You are the one who must choose your place,
You must say where you want to go,
How much you will study the truth to know.
God has equipped you for life, but
He Lets you decide what you want to be.

Courage must come from the soul within,
The man must furnish the will to win.
So figure it out for yourself, my lad.
You were born with all that the great have had,
With your equipment they all began,
Get hold of yourself and say: "I can."
