Sqeaking brakes when cold

Curious if anyone has experienced a slight squeaking in their brakes but only when cold? In the morning, when I back out of the garage and I press the brake (going very slowly), it will squeak a little bit, but after that initial brake, it's fine. I had the 15,000 check and there was plenty of brake left (I have 17,200 now). You guys think it's just normal?

I noticed it last night too while it was in drive...but last night it took a little longer for the squeaking to stop. But yes, after it's been warmed up a little (a little bit of driving), it goes away. I was just a bit concerned because I never noticed it before. And also, my brother's G35 sedan squeaks all the time and got really loud at about 15,000 miles (he needed them replaced). I hope our brakes aren't as soft as the G35....can't afford a brake job every year.
