… the number of Sunflowers Mark gave me for our 12th Anniversary

…. the number of times I’ve moved the dishes in the kitchen

…. the number of ladybugs at the “lady bug” picnic

…. the smallest number with exactly six divisors

…. the number of sides on a dodecagon

…. the number of people we had at our last birthday parties

…. the day of the month when Claire will be 8 months old

…. the atomic number of magnesium

…. the number of red roses Mark gave me for our 12th Anniversary

…. the number of daisies Mark gave me for our 12th Anniversary

…. the number of mum’s Mark gave me for our 12th Anniversary.

Are you seeing a pattern?

…. the number of yellow roses Mark gave me for our 12 Anniversary.

12 is the number of years I have been grateful for Mark.  (February 24, 2008)
