One category on homepage

I am currently using the following to display a category on my static home page

<?php if( is_front_page() ) { ?>
<div class="coverboxes">
<ul class="latest-news">
<?php
 global $post;
 $myposts = get_posts('numberposts=2');
 foreach($myposts as $post) :
 ?>
    <li><span class="post-info"><?php the_title(); ?><!--<?php the_content(); ?>--><br/></span><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"></a></li>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php } ?>

I would like to chow the content of each post as well however when I add in the following it shows the homepage content not the category content

<?php the_content(); ?>

any ideas?
