   I am trying to create a second loop on my homepage that contains an image thumnail and headline for the post. Here is my code:

   <div id="images_box_thumbs">
   <div class="sidebar_title">Featured Posts</div>
   			<?php $query = new WP_Query('category_name=featured&showposts=6'); ?>
   <?php while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>
   
   <div id="images_box"><!-- Category Image Posts -->
   
    					<a title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"> <?php
   $files = get_children("post_parent=$id&post_type=attachment&post_mime_type=image");
   if($files){
           $keys = array_keys($files);
           $num=$keys[0];
   		$thumb=wp_get_attachment_thumb_url($num);
   
           print "<div class='photo_thumb'><a href='".get_permalink()."' title=''><img src='$thumb' class='thumbnail' alt='' /></a></div>";
   }
   ?></a><br />
   <a class="gal_link" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   <a class="gal_read_more" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">Read More >></a>
   
   </div>
   
   <?php endwhile; ?>
   
   <div style="clear:both;"></div>

   It kinda works, but it ends up pulling in the SAME thumbnail for every post instead of the thumnail/image tied to that post.

   What am I doing wrong?

   In your get_children try this little change for post_parent:

   post_parent=$query->post->ID
