Sarah and Steve visit for Mother's Day!

Sarah and Steve visited us here in LA for Mother's Day. "But why?" you readers are surely asking right now. "None of you are mothers. This makes no sense!" Calm down readers, there's a simple explanation for all this: Sarah is pregnant! Yes, she is! Yay!

OK, a lot of you probably already knew that. We just like to celebrate that fact whenever we can. And Sarah celebrated, too, by coming down for the taping of the Mother's Day episode of Ellen, where she got hooked up with a TON of great baby gear. Here's a slideshow of pictures, with some notes to follow:




- Rhianwen gave Sarah and Steve a nice little tour of the Warner Brothers lot before Sarah went to the taping. They saw lots of cool stuff, naturally, but one very special thing was that Rhianwen somehow was able to smooth talk her way past an official tour guide and onto the Central Perk set of Friends. (That's the coffee shop where they all hung out. How did they always get the sweet couch?) That's Sarah behind the counter.

- We introduced Sarah and Steve to our good friends Dani and Greg, and had brunch at Aroma Cafe. Apparently Steve didn't make it into any of those photos, but he was there, I promise. And he had fun too!

- We went up to a place called Castaic Lake, which is a very quiet, very peaceful, very beautiful (but very man-made) lake about 30 miles north of us. It was fun to just get away from Los Angeles for a short time and see some ducks doing flying landings on water. Seriously, that's one of nature's coolest details, those ducks landing on the water. Quack.

- We went to this awesome French place in Los Feliz called Figaro Cafe for dinner. It was very nice-yet-laidback, with delicious food and a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Rhianwen had her first escargot, and she thought it was pretty, pretty, pretty good. I had the canard a l'orange (duck), which was really good but kind of weird because I felt like I had bonded emotionally with the ducks earlier that day at Castaic Lake. Oh well!

Well, that about covers the trip! Come back sometime soon Sarah and Steve! This time with a baby!

Bob and Ellen

Some of you readers may already know this, but Rhianwen and I both started new jobs back in January. I am assisting the two executive producers on a new show called Bob's Burgers, while Rhi is the new coordinator of branded marketing integrations on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. You'll have to wait about a year to see Bob's Burgers (we'll keep you posted on dates in the future), but you can tune in to see the things Rhianwen works on every day on Ellen!

While the jobs are demanding and the hours long, we cannot be more thankful or feel more blessed to be in the spots we're in. I feel incredibly lucky to have a boatload of fun everyday at my job, and I could not be happier with landing on this show. Rhianwen also feels incredibly lucky to have scored a plum gig on a hit show. How cool?

However, because of said long hours, our blogging has tapered off. Waaaay off. (Was January 17 really the last time we posted here? Sheesh!) You have our wholehearted apologies, friends. We will try our hardest to keep you better informed in the future.
