Elise and I have made it our tradition to do a photo shoot on Independence Day. So happy that she is still willing to put up with my endless requests!  We even got Dad to hold the flash for us.   As the clouds rolled in this afternoon I knew that the sunset wouldn't disappoint...and it didn't!  

I can't tell you how grateful I am to all the men and women that serve our amazing country.  Freedom isn't free and I feel great gratitude toward the selfless people that serve and protect our great nation each and every day.  Happy Birthday America!
