This has been a very busy fall for Tucker, work-wise. The arrival of Wilkins came at the same time as the government shut-down (or "lock-out", depending on how you spin it). It was a disheartening time to be in Washington, especially as we think about the world we're bringing our little guy into. Still, Tucker's fighting the good fight for the members of AFGE, one issue at a time!
I brought Wilkins in for a visit to Tucker's office to meet his co-workers. Wilkins approved of his daddy's digs so much that he christened the office with its first nap.
Here are Tucker and Wilkins out for a birthday dinner at the Takoma Bistro.
Wilkins loved the Coq Au Vin.
Tucker makes the balance of work and fatherhood look easy. Though work is always stressful (in a good way?), he is one of those dads who sets aside time every morning and evening to make Margot and Wilkins feel they're at the center of his world; a feeling I hope they carry with them all the time.
We often talk about the "what ifs" with our careers in terms of taking on new challenges and climbing the metaphoric "ladder". We always come back to how thankful we are that we can spend as much time as we do together as a family. Having time with each other as our first priority really makes decisions easier.
In this season of gratitude, I'm so thankful for such an amazing husband and partner. I know Wilkins and Margot are thankful, too!
