Since we don't have any "adventures" to report yet, I'll just post some facts about Bali now and then to get you up to speed.
Bali fact #1: Regardless of being male or female, each person receives one of four names based on birth order. The firstborn is "Wayan" (pronounced like Ryan but with a W), second is "Made" (pronounced like Mah-day), third is "Nyoman", and fourth is "Ketut". The names are repeated after that, so the fifth born would be "Wayan Balik", which means "Wayan again".
Because Bali was our favorite place in the world (and partly because Jim and I could only agree on one boys name when I was pregnant with Eliot), we gave Eliot the middle name "Wayan". He is so excited to go there where people will understand his name and he can actually meet other Wayans.
