Visual Trademark - A Blog By CJ Mills

Only now, as a Father, can I truly appreciate everything my dad did (and does) for me.  Thanks for it all, Dad!

Part of Stats Suck Sunday.

Andrea typically puts Jadyn to bed, but tonight I ended up doing it as Andrea has a friend from Denver in town. With all the chaos surrounding the last week or so, it has been hard to get back in a routine. Jadyn is no different and has a real hard time settling down [...]

Showing affection isn’t exactly my strongest quality. So you can imagine how it would be for me to show any kind of affection in a level 3 NNICU with Doctors and Nurses walking around and my baby boy looking like Radio Shack with 100 different wires coming out of him - it actually freaks [...]

The last few days have been hell. I’d consider myself a fairly flexible guy, but Asher’s early entrance took it to a whole new level. I know have a greater appreciation for what my cousin, Chris, and his wife went through with both of their kids.
The reality of the situation didn’t hit me [...]

I am a first time Dad. By that, I mean that I’m experiencing all the stages of being a parent for the first time. I am slowly learning all the “tricks of the trade” in preparation for my little boy who is scheduled to make an appearance in July; however, this week I [...]

I love watching her, even as we [...]

I’ll be honest - if Jade had to pick between her mother or her father, she would be her mom probably 70% of the time. Its not because I’m a terrible dad or Andrea’s a better mom (but she is, really), its because Andrea is Jade’s world from 8-5 and, most nights, beyond. [...]

I know I’ve been showing a lot of videos lately, but that is all Visual, right? Anyways, tonight during the sound check for CP Youth’s worship set, Jadyn wanted her own microphone to check along with Mommy, so I hooked one up and caught this video on my Palm Treo (hence the low quality). [...]

We bring Jadyn in during worship so she can listen to the worship. She loves watching mommy and daddy lead and sing. Today, after service, Jadyn hopped on stage, took a microphone and started singing (screaming) “Happy Day” by Tim Hughes.

We’ve been doing that song in church and it obviously stuck. [...]

That’s why….Jade wants to watch herself in the mirror….
