GroupMe is awesome and enabled our whole family to be apart of Emmy and Josh's first baby birthing experience. I don't know if that was as fun for Josh and Emmy, but the rest of the family was glued to their phones all Saturday awaiting updates.

What some of the family was pretending to be doing while in actuality they were just staying glued to GroupMe:
While Chris and Chelsea were at Olive Garden, they had an awkward moment with our waitress and shared the moment with our family and the results made Chris VERY proud and happy. I am sure he would appreciate it being recorded in our family History.
| Anne | Olive Garden, huh? | |
|---|
| Chelsea A. | Yep. | |
|---|
| Do you want to hear his awkward joke? | |
|---|
| Anne | Yes please. | |

| Chelsea A. | We had two salad bowls and the waitress came over and said, "may I consolidate this for you?" and Chris said, "you mean conSALADate? Ha ha" | |

| Joe B. | Anne actually did cry just now. | |

| Anne | I consider my humor to be selective and refined. You're welcome, Chris. | |
|---|
| Chris A. | Also I told Chelsea I'd save her some of my soup. Then I accidentally finished it and I was like, "soops." | |
|---|
|
