I want to write more but I just can't right now. I also will try and post more pictures. Here are some though... Here's Evan with this tiny little lamb that Angel Watch gave me!
Evan Michael Barrett lived 27 1/2 weeks. After 16 hours of grueling labor he was born at 2:30am May 16th 2009. He was 12 inches long and weighed 1 pound 12 ounces. Labor was very hard on his tiny body-poor little guy! He is a sweetheart! We will all miss him and we love him so much!
Here is Karah holding her little brother! That's all she wanted to do over the past few months so I am so glad that was able to happen!
We even captured a picture of Alyssa holding him!
We will be having a graveside service on Friday, May 22nd at 11am. It will be held at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park ( 13001 S. 3600 W. Riverton, UT.) There will be a lunch following the small service. Anyone who wants to come is invited. Thanks for all the love and support! We appreciate it very much!

April, I just got home from vacation and signed in to catch up on my blogs. I am so sorry to hear that Evan has gained his wings. I'm so sorry we didn't get a chance to talk beforehand, and I wish you much love and peace during this time and always. I love the pictures, I'm sure you will always treasure them. Take care of yourself and your family. Much love, Erin
Oh April- I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is just breaking for you. They changed my schedule at work this week- so things at my house are crazy- I am so sorry that I have not been over to see you yet. Please know that it is not because I haven't been thinking about you. You and your sweet family has been constantly on my mind and in my prayers. I am so sorry that you are going through something so awful- I love you.
April & Shawn, I'm sure your little Evan is pleased with how apart of your family he is. I'm grateful you have had precious time with him. Love Ya, Siri
April those pictures are beautiful. His little hands in the one with the lamb are just amazing. Thank you for sharing them. I'll be there on Friday.
April and Shawn-
The picture of Evan with his little lamb is so, so sweet. We are so sad for you, and pray that you'll receive the comfort you need. It's amazing that a little baby who stayed for such a short time could make such an impact on so many people. We are sorry he had to say goodbye so soon.
We love you-
Ben and Robbie

April & Shawn,
We are so sorry to hear the news. You guys are in our prayers. You are such a great example to me of faith and I appreciate your friendship. You are such a strong person and I know that the Lord will bless your family for your faith in him.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you, a phonecall, German chocolate, anything. We will be coming home in June for a wedding, so we should get together again if we can!
