Hi Jim,

As was remarked just a few weeks ago, check your front wheel bearings. 
If they're loose, then the first pumps of the pedal re-set the pads 
relative to the rotors according to how the hubs are loaded right at 
that time. The corollary on the rear axle is radial play in the axle 
bearings, but that wouldn't happen without very noticeable rumbling 
noises that vary with speed.

Regards,
Theo
