   Bastian Family Year-in-Review  2011 was a busy year for our family, so I decided to create a video to summarize it all! You'll see some glimpses into my life beyond Kidology, including...
Luke turned 5, and wanted a "real Jeep" for his birthday, so I rented a Jeep for the day! I started "Dad School," a mini-home school to focus on the areas where he needed help, and also "Family Pit Stops," our evening family devotional times as he got old enough for intentional spiritual input from Dad. My wife Sara is a table leader for MOPS at our church, while I continue to write a children's church curriculum called DiscipleTown in addition to leading Kidology.
Thank you to everyone who calls us family, friends, and who supports us in prayer. Last year was quite busy! With a new VP of Operations in 2012, I hope to find a somehow slower pace and perhaps more margin, but am still eagerly excited to see what God has in store for my family.
Here's to your New Year. May it be blessed!
Because Jesus Loves Children,

KidCheck has made their system extremely easy to use, not only with a simple, intuitive check-in process, but by using training videos and through their wonderful customer support as well. This system has a few features that I truly enjoyed like...

| ToyBox Tales: Crossing the Red Sea |
 This classic ToyBox Tales episode, "Crossing the Red Sea," is the one that started it all!
Moses, Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, and red Jello. Not to mention a rather out-of-place PEZ dispenser! Here's a creative way to retell the popular Red Sea story!
