[quote=Anonymous]We had preemie twins last year, with a toddler at home already. The twins are approaching their first birthday, and, thank goodness, everyone is healthy and doing well. But I really don't know how we would have done it without my parents and in-laws, especially in the beginning. They all live in the area, and they provided amazing amounts of logistical and emotional support. They babysat, cooked for us, cleaned our house, everything. Even now they're a huge help.  Yes, we know how lucky we are!

So, we would like to thank them for all of their amazing support. But we are pretty stretched financially right now with three in childcare. Our parents are financially comfortable (more so than us at the moment) and there's nothing we could afford to buy them that they can't just buy themselves. Plus I know they wouldn't want us to spend a lot of money on them, when it could go to the grandkids' college fund. And to be honest, we don't have a lot of time to spare right now either, though we're willing to devote whatever spare time we can manage to this for the next couple of weeks.

Any suggestions of something we could get them, or do for them, given those limitations?[/quote]
