Beth and J.D.

by Stephanie Oberlander
Two-year old Zachary clings to his mother before she leaves the babysitter's house for the evening shift at work.
Beth Kitchens pauses a moment nearing the end of a fullwork week. She later said she was having a frustrating, hectic day.
Beth hugs her son Zach as daughter Angel looks on before they head out to the babysitter's house.
Beth hands out some last minute instructions to husband J.D. , holding son Zachary, before the two head home after a lunch visit during her shift at Taco Bell.
J.D. goofs around with Beth before departing for a dinner date to Bowling Green. J.D. says that his two days home after being gone for five weeks always feels rushed.
