Latest 3 posts from specific category

I would like to have 3 “services boxes” on the home page, but they can be whatever a client wants. The 3 boxes are dynamic, so a client can create a new post and choose the category “frontpage item” (category id = 5). Link

This is my code:

<div id="services">

	<?php
		global $post;
		$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3, 'offset'=> 1, 'category' => 5 );
		$myposts = get_posts( $args );
		foreach( $myposts as $post ) :	setup_postdata($post); ?>

			<div class="services-box">

				<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>

                		<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

                		<?php the_content(); ?>

            		</div>

		<?php endforeach; ?>

    </div><!--end services-->

So ‘numberposts’ is 3, but only 2 posts show up. I checked the latest post and it has the right category assigned to it. I would like to set ‘offset’ to 3, but then none show up. Any help is appreciated.
