get_posts conflict

I think the parameters to your second get_posts() need to be changed from this:

get_posts('numberposts=2category=3,4,5,6');

to this:

get_posts('numberposts=2&cat=3,4,5,6');

See the Codex article on Category Parameters.

Thanks vtxyzzy. Here’s what I ended up with that worked. Maybe it will help someone else. There was a problem with using get_posts in the side bar for some reason. query_posts ended up working out.
