DD10 is Growing Up

My 10 year old daughter is growing up so fast. Tomorrow at 515 am she departs for her very first over night field trip with her class. They are going to Frankfort, the state capital and Mammoth Cave. This is going to be such a great experience for her, though I had to fight daddy tooth and nail to let her go. He did not think that she was old enough, he is like all dad's of little girls and is so afraid to let her grow up. I finally got him to agree and let her go.
She is so excited that she can hardly sleep, it is so cute.

Here she is almost 4 years ago

And....

Here she is now!!!

It's amazing how fast they grow. She used to want dolls for her Birthday and now she is asking for a cell phone. I am quickly on my way to gray hairs, I can feel it.
