Dante, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am sitting here weeping at the pure joy on this beautiful face. You have no idea how much happier you just made my day!

Heather

That is the definition of an 'infectious' smile.

Shabbat = Jewish Sabbath right?

Hey.....those don't look like blintzes!

It's challah

God bless you and Zack, Tey.

challah is bread right....that you take little pieces at a time?

forgive my ignorance, I haven't had a Jewish meal since high school............with the exception of Matzo Ball Soup......I make MEAN matzo balls.......once made one the size of a soccer ball.

The Million Dollar Smile!

It's contageous. Thanks!

Yeah, challah is bread - yummy egg bread. That looks like it has raisins in it maybe.

Tey, I mean no disrespect by this - Zach appears to be very high functioning. That is fantastic! He is going to bring light to every life he touches. I can see it in his eyes.

It's obvious from the pics that Zack brings a lot of light and laughter to his world

Thanks for posting these pix

Ooh, and then I spelled it wrong! My apologies!

Happy looking guy. Thanks for sharing.

Heather,

Zack is kinda on the cusp of being high functioning and moderate. He has an incredible memory but has small speech disfluency and that effects him expressing himself. But he is truly one of the most happy and genuine dudes I know.

Certain speech difficulties are believed to be caused by a deficiency of folenic acid (folic acid that is more bio available) in some individuals. Our kids take a suppliment from Kirkman Labs that is folenic acid, trimethylglycine (which is thought to improve speech and cognition as well as boost the immune system) and vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin (which helps repair neural pathways and guards against glycemic reactions).

Our kids are like that, too - genuine I mean. Sure, they try to pull the wool over our eyes from time to time, like any kid. I can always trust their intuition, though, and if they don't like someone from square one then its no go as far as I'm concerned.

It is really good to see his picture. Your boys are sweet little fellows.

Tey, great picture of your boy Zack. May I ask how old he is? He looks like a very happy boy. Congrats!

Ok,

I was willing to believe that you had ONE fantastically happy kid.

But TWO???

Who you trying to fool?

Great job yet again.

Zack is 12 years old and in 7th grade. Now for those who don't know I came into Zack's life when he was 4. His father had left my wife pretty much 5 minutes after he saw Zack. He knows me as Dad and always will.

Tey... way to go. There's nothing better than being a DAD! It's men like you who keep up our good name.

Great picture Dante. He looks like a kid that likes to be tickled. Also looks like he might enjoy a practical joke on dad once in a while too.
